Mr. Bill, the photo reference for this painting was taken by Jordan just north of 2nd narrows during an expansion of the rail tracks, so the trains could pass. Mr.Bill was JJM’s on site pusher/ assist boat. It is a twin screw and was very helpful when they needed it. They were delivering 3500 tons of rock a couple times a week.

These fine art prints are the perfect alternative to an original. Printed right here on Vancouver Island, these prints have the look and feel of something I have painted myself.

Canvas Print

The natural texture of the canvas creates prints that are often indistinguishable from the original artwork. Since they aren’t covered by glass, these prints offer vibrant, rich colors that can be enjoyed from any angle. The award-winning LYVE canvas features breathable, OBA-free, truly archival material, carefully finished with a satin coating. Certified by the Fine Art Trade Guild for over 100 years of archival quality, these prints come ready to hang with a sleek black side treatment. The stretcher bars are crafted from Paulownia wood—a strong, lightweight hardwood that is easy to work with, highly resistant to warping, decay, insects, and mold, and grows rapidly. Canvas prints make an excellent choice for wall art, as they offer a polished, tailored look without the need for an external frame.

Fine Art Paper

“Elegance Velvet” paper is a cold press paper, featuring a subtle texture similar to that of cold pressed watercolor paper. It weighs 300 gsm, giving it a substantial, heavy feel. Made from 100% cotton rag, it is naturally acid-free and archival, making it a standard choice for professional Fine Art reproduction prints. Its longevity is rated for over 100 years. As with most modern prints and papers, when properly stored and framed, they typically exceed the official 100-year rating for fade resistance and durability.
