Vancouver Core by *Laurazee is a richly colored, wobbly bit of fun. It has an almost animated quality about it -- in the sense that you expect it to start moving.

Vancouver Core

Description

Acrylic on Canvas, 36" wide x 30" tall.
Status: Sold

This is the Lonsdale Quay/Seabus View of Vancouver based (very liberally) on Syberpat's Vancity Core shot. The classic Vancouver elements are the sails of Canada Place as well as the Sears (Harbor Center) tower on the left. I took a lot of liberties with the overall architecture as well as with the colors, which I wanted to be crayon-bright for some reason.

Sad story on this one and a good lesson with acrylics: I was *almost done* back in early Dec. and was just sanding down some of those annoying acrylic bumps that develop. I decided I would rinse the dusty residue off faster in the sink: who knew the acrylic would peel off in SHEETS like that?

So this is actually the second version of the same painting since I accidentally and entirely rinsed off version #1, which I suspect was a cosmic statement that it just wasn't good enough or something. Anyway, here it is, repainted, recolored, and now I can go on to the next, whatever that is.
