Catharine Esson is a member of the Gibsons Paddle Club. She and her husband Dave live on the ocean shores here on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. It was a sunny September Saturday when about a dozen of the Paddle Club executive gathered at Catharine’s home for a “Visioning” session. Our club being almost 20 years old, it was time to have a look at things past and present with an eye on the future. Such are “Visioning” sessions.
As I sat listening and participating I found myself looking out the window onto the waters of the Salish Sea. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one. This was an important meeting, but there wasn’t one of us who wouldn’t have rather been on those waters than sitting in a meeting on such a gorgeous fall day.
A movement in my peripheral vision caught my attention. The shore breezes were causing the beach grasses to dance to the rhythm of their whimsical music. And that’s when the light worked its magic. I’d not seen it until then, the old boat snuggled into the shadows of the tall grasses. The bright sun touched its gunwales to reveal its simplicity and stately presence. That was a painting to be sure, but I had to get the image now. Otherwise the fickle light would shift as quickly as the wind. Quietly, I got up from the meeting, walked outside and took the shot that would become the painting. I came back in, sat down and resumed my work with the Visioning Session. For me personally that meeting proved very fruitful. After all, I had a new painting already forming in my brain. The “Visioning Session” had worked. I had seen “The Vision”.
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.
