TROUT LAKE

 

TROUT LAKE

This painting was created in the depths of the Covid Pandemic of 2020/21.  It was my first painting of 2021 and I found myself longing, dreaming, wishing and hoping.  Like most people, as we endured the binding restrictions and protocols associated to this global affliction, it was easy to look to the future.  “When this is over, I’m going to……”.  We all had those thoughts.

For me, my wish list was relatively small.  Of course, the usual dream of seeing family, friends and loved ones again was at the very top.  But not far down on the list, for me, was the dream and commitment of a very simple thing.  I just want to be in my canoe, on a lake, under the warm evening sun.

And that’s where the painting I call “Trout Lake” came to life.  I took the photograph early in January, and the painting happened only a few weeks later.  Trout Lake is a very small lake, right on the side of the road, just northwest of Sechelt.  I’ve paddled on it for years.  I’ve fished the lake, swam in it and picnicked beside it.  So too, grandchildren have had their swims in Trout Lake, fished with me, or just stopped to enjoy its serenity as we’ve driven by.  Somehow, that lake is what’s keeping my focus through these difficult isolated days of winter.

And so, I painted Trout Lake as a diversion.  For me, the exercise was good medicine.  And now, as I look at the image I’ve created, I can envision my canoe there against the far shore.  It’s only a few months away, but it’s something to aim for.  For me, Trout Lake is a commitment, a personal promise and dream for the not-too-distant future.  High on my wish list for “when this is all over”, my painting of Trout Lake will help me get through the winter.

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.
