Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver
October 28, 2011I was very happy to be invited as an Artist in Residence to the cosmopolitan Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver for the weekend of October 28 and 29, 2011. During that time, in the lobby of the hotel, I did a demonstration of a small still life painting. Hotel staff and the Howe Street Gallery worked together and arranged to hang a show of my recent work which was displayed in the exquisite lobby of the hotel for the next two weeks.

Finalist Award Sponsor: Raymar Art Tin Lizzy, Oil 12 x 24 Judge’s Comments: Solid design (hints of Wyeth) draws the viewer into a timeless scene – nostalgic, warm and sun bathed. Wonderful attention to the worn/weathered textures of the barn. The details of the old car and interior space draw the viewer in..and then keep the eye moving around the painting. Great play of color temperature. Strong abstract composition. Fun title – Randall Sexton |
