BELOW GARDINER EXPWY

Highway overpass system – Below Gardiner Expressway

Elements of this watercolor of a highway overpass system lies in the subtle contrasting elements of this picture: the soft, muted tones depicting hard unyielding material. The soft tones capture the quiet emptiness of a normally busy place. Multiple concrete bridges and ramps intersect at varying angles, casting long shadows across the road below. I captured the geometric complexity of the structure, using washes of gray, beige, and lavender to suggest the play of sunlight and shadow.

The perspective draws the viewer’s eye beneath the towering overpasses, conveying both scale and depth. The brushwork is loose yet precise enough to maintain the architectural forms, creating a balance between realism and artistic interpretation.

CITY MOONSCAPE

A silver moon hangs high above the city, pouring its glow across the skyline like a celestial lantern. Its radiant beams stretch outward, softening the sharp edges of the night. Below, towers of glass and steel rise proudly, their countless illuminated windows flickering like constellations brought down to earth. The streets, awash in the amber glow of streetlights, weave quietly between the buildings, carrying whispers of life long after the day has ended. Smaller residences nestle at the foot of the giants, their lights gentler, more intimate, as if guarding dreams against the vastness of the night. The photo captures a delicate balance—nature’s eternal light above, humanity’s restless glow below—two realms of brilliance entwined in stillness, painting a portrait of a city that never truly sleeps.

Introspection

This watercolor rendered in warm umber tones, captures a fleeting moment of architectural grandeur and human presence. It employs a loose, impressionistic style, allowing the washes of color to suggest form and atmosphere rather than define every detail.

The central focus is an arched entryway, possibly a grand portal or a bridge, with a decorative balustrade arching overhead. The architectural elements are suggested with bold, fluid strokes, hinting at classical influences. Light and shadow play a significant role, with darker washes defining the depth of the arch and the shadowed recesses of the structure, while lighter tones suggest illuminated surfaces.

Within the shadowed archway, a solitary figure sits. The figure is rendered with minimal detail, yet conveys a sense of quiet contemplation or repose. The surrounding architecture seems to dwarf the human element, creating a dialogue between the enduring nature of stone and the transient presence of life.

The overall mood is one of serene introspection, perhaps evoking a sense of history or timelessness. The limited color palette enhances this feeling, creating a unified and harmonious composition. The artwork invites the viewer to pause and reflect on the interplay of man-made structures and the human experience within them.

LAKE OHARA BRITISH COLUMBIA

A hush of mist drapes the peaks, their forms dissolving into sky as though born of the very clouds that veil them. Shades of slate, gold, and violet flow into one another, soft and fluid, refusing sharp boundaries—as if the mountains themselves are memories rather than stone.
At the base, a glimmer of turquoise water glows like a secret, a mirror holding the silence of the heights. The land is painted not with rigid detail, but with breath and gesture, capturing not just what the eye sees but what the spirit feels in such a place: stillness, reverence, and the quiet pull of eternity.
This work is less a landscape than a meditation—an invitation to step into the space between solidity and dream, where mountains are not obstacles but guardians of silence.
