The work
The story behind the artwork
Original Vancouver Cityscape Painting – Hudson’s Bay
Hudson’s Bay is an original 30 × 40 inch oil on canvas painting by Vancouver artist Graham Watts, capturing a rainy day at the corner of West Georgia and Granville Street in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia.
The historic Hudson’s Bay building anchors the composition while pedestrians move through the rain beneath colourful umbrellas. Reflections from city lights, windows and passing figures stretch across the wet pavement, giving the scene depth, movement and a distinctly Vancouver atmosphere.
Rich blues establish the cool, rainy mood, while flashes of red, yellow and warm city light bring energy to the street below. Expressive brushwork softens the architecture and turns puddles and reflections into an important part of the composition.
Created for collectors drawn to Vancouver art, rainy cityscape paintings and original Canadian artwork, Hudson’s Bay captures one of downtown Vancouver’s most recognizable intersections in the weather that defines so much of the city’s visual character.
