Every year should end on such a good note. It was December 30th, 2018. Joy and I were enjoying the holidays with our family in Victoria, staying with my daughter Melanie and her family in Langford. Like me, Melanie is an artist and she finds her inspiration out of doors. We treasure our time together as we both resonate on the same wave length when it comes to seeking out images to paint.
She told me of a walk we just had to take on this clear, bright December morning. We’d go to Witty’s Lagoon, just two artists letting serendipity be our guide. Witty’s Lagoon Provincial Park is in Metchosin where Bilston Creek makes its final frantic tumble over majestic Sitting Lady Falls and down into the briny waters of the lagoon as the fresh water mixes with the salt.
As we walked the groomed trails of the park there were endless images that could be paintings, but then one isolated scene caught my eye. The deep blue lagoon waters at the edge of the brackish stream was the perfect backdrop for the tangle of branches lazily hanging over the water. Shafts of brilliant light fingered their way through to illuminate colour and texture. Its quiet simplicity is what demanded my attention. And in this, my very first painting of 2019, I celebrate just that, Witty’s Lagoon – Tranquility.
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.
