Upper Harbour Victoria BC painting by Barry Tate Gallery of Fine Art - acrylic paintings and watercolor paintings

UPPER HARBOUR
I've always lived near the ocean in the Victoria area and have a never ending appreciation for the way of life it offers. Vessels like the Melville, Santa Rita and the Sea Span Rocket are great examples of real working boats. Their designs and on board equipment reflect a no-nonsense approach to their business, earned from many years of experience.
Nearly everyone visiting Victoria BC discovers the "Inner Harbour" because it frames the famous tourists destinations of the Empress Hotel and the Parliament buildings. This waterway becomes the "Upper Harbour" when it crosses under the Johnston Street bridge. The viewpoint is from the Canoe Club looking towards Vic West. In the distant far left is the Songees condo development.

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 metallic or wood.
    white on white - traditional gallery choice, classy and elegant. Goes with all decors. Best with a mid to medium dark frame.
