NEW HARBOUR 1

Original pen & ink drawing
1998

Image size 4" high by 6" wide (100 mm by 150 mm)
(Low resolution image illustrated)



INTRODUCTION

This is an image drawn of the changing shoreline along the Vancouver harbour west of Burrard Street. The C.P. Rail tracks had just been removed from Cardero Street back to the CPR station at Granville Street, after over 100 years of service, and the land was being prepared for the next "layer" of development.

When I drew this, I thought that the sea-wall was going to be built in this area. It turned out that another block of high-rises was to be built, and then another block of land added into the harbour with another row of high rises, and then finally the seawall added to that. Six years after drawing this, two roads run across what is seen here as water. Now, the new convention centre is being built another block out into the water, in line with Canada Place that is seen on the left of the drawing.

It is drawn with Pilot DR pigment ink pens, on Bristol board. The drawing is matted with acid free 4-ply matteboard and liner, and framed in a 9" x 12" aluminum frame. It is available for $300.00 (three hundred) Canadian.
