off gaya street

off gaya street [2008] oil and acrylic on canvas; 75 x 90 cm
something about hot pink walls against a bright blue sky...I find them in borneo, in mexico, even in paris [see below post]...but not much in rainy vancouver...
one of my father's shop buildings [from the 1960's] off the main street downtown and a couple of blocks from his office...walk behind these blocks and across the parking lots is the lush jungly hillside shimmering in the tropical heat and afternoon sea breezes...some days I would play marbles along the shaded sidewalk behind the coffeeshop with the kids from the record store...
