PAINTINGS

These paintings are from a series, "Street Portraits", of people I've quick sketched in downtown Vancouver, based on the same concept as my mini-comic from the eighties, "The Granville Street Gallery". As you can imagine, drawing someone as they're walking by does not result in an exact indiviual portrait but more of a portait of a "type'.

Each painting is 14" X 18" inches, acrylic on wood. Each painting sells for $600. Contact me for further information.
