The story behind the artwork
Original Vancouver Cityscape Painting – Spanish Banks
Spanish Banks is an original 36 × 48 inch oil on canvas painting by Vancouver artist Graham Watts, inspired by the expansive view across English Bay from Spanish Banks Beach in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The painting brings together several of Vancouver’s defining elements in one composition: open water, the city skyline, distant mountains and a vivid red sailboat moving across the bay.
Cool blues dominate the ocean and sky, while the red sail creates a strong focal point and introduces energy into the scene. In the distance, the city and mountain backdrop reinforce the unique relationship between Vancouver’s urban landscape and its surrounding natural environment.
Created for collectors drawn to Vancouver art, cityscape paintings and original Canadian landscape artwork, Spanish Banks captures the open, coastal character of one of the city’s best-known waterfront viewpoints.
