Cowichan Bay BC Barry Tate Gallery of Fine Art - acrylic paintings and watercolor paintings

COWICHAN BAY - Vancouver Island BC

To get to Cowichan Bay by car from my home means a drive down the Saanich Peninsula, across Saanich inlet, through Goldstream Park, up over the Malahat then on to Duncan BC. About 1 1/2 hours. By boat- 30 minutes!
When I rounded the point to Cowichan Bay, I was struck by these brightly colored boat houses floating in the bay. I liked the way they were enhanced by the backdrop of drab green-grey hills of Saltspring Island.
Cowichan Bay or "Cow Bay" as locals sometime call it, has a wonderful small village along the shore with a few nice restaurants, bakeries, pubs and gift shops. A nice destination for boaters in the area.

ORIGINAL PAINTING:

30" x 40" acrylic on 3/4" clean-edge canvas. ( 28x38 face dimension )
A clean-edge painting can simply be hung "as is" for a modern contemporary look, or by using an optional frame that suits your decor.

GICLÉE PRINT
Giclée prints are the best type of reproductions available today.
They are supplied with a double acid free mat and foam backing board. All you need is a common 16x20" frame.
Mat options are:
    silver gray with dark blue inner mat - nice traditional look that fits well. A mid to dark colored frame looks best
    dark blue on dark blue - dramatic and bold look, very powerful. Best with a light colored frame like silver etc.
    white on white - traditional gallery choice, classy and elegant. Goes with all decors. Best with a mid to medium dark frame.
