THE SOUTHWEST PASSAGE

THE SOUTHWEST PASSAGE

It’s really just a fun reality of our Gibsons Paddle Club.  The name “The Southwest Passage” is the tag we paddlers gave to that high and dry piece of the beach at the southwest end of the breakwater in Gibsons Harbour.

This image depicts the beach at mid tide.  Our local tides are such though that only a few times of the year the waters rise sufficiently over that beach at the end of the breakwater to allow a canoe to actually be paddled over and through.

Timing, weather and water conditions over the years have meant that the journey through “The Southwest Passage” has been completed only a few times.  Once, a canoe even overturned during the attempt.  

I painted this image simply as a bit of amusement in my artistic expression.  I wanted to forever remember the fun and energy of the Gibsons Paddle Club and the great times we’ve all had together over the years.  All who paddle will immediately recognize exactly where this image depicts.  And all paddlers will be watching the tide charts over the coming years hoping that one day they too can conquer the fickle waters of “The Southwest Passage”.

Pricing

My images predominantly sell as limited edition prints (either serigraph or giclée). As such, there is a wide range of pricing, too wide to list within this website. I’ll explain.

My original paintings, those that are still available for sale, range in price from $4,000.00 and up. In most cases though I have limited edition prints available of my images. Needless to say, they are far less expensive than the original paintings. If you are interested in a particular original painting, please contact me at your earliest convenience at info@edhillart.com

If it’s a limited edition print you’re interested in, let me explain. Because of modern day technologies, the image you are interested in can be giclée printed on either paper or canvas. The canvas images can be rolled up and shipped in a simple tube, or they can be stretched on a frame and shipped that way. So too, these images can be reproduced custom made to your wishes. In other words I can create a print in the size you desire, either to fill a small space, or to fill an entire wall. I’ve included below a photograph of a client’s dining room with two of my prints reproduced in a larger format.

You will see that some of my pieces shown on this web site, those lithograph reproductions and art cards, do have fixed prices. The rest of my images, however, can be priced only when I know specifically what you, the client, want. As such, if you are interested in a particular image, please contact me, Ed Hill, directly at info@edhillart.com

Once your order has been determined, you’ll be able to make payment through PayPal provided herein.
