Description Winter weather in Vancouver is miserable -- rain, rain and more rain. I hate winter here, but we can sometimes witness a wonderful scene after a long rain. One such scene was one day when it stopped raining after many hours of rain. I was in one of the most famous landscapes in Vancouver -- Gastown. With wet ground and spooky greenish lightings, the steam of the steam clock was floating in the air and I could see the beautiful dusk in the distance. It was stunning. It was such a beautiful moment and I decided to paint it.

I painted this in April, 2011

Thank you very much, Jonathon. I'm glad to be back to DA! As I am such a slow painter, it took about a month to finish it. The most difficult part was drawing. It killed me!

BEAUTIFULLL!!!!! I tried watercolor for the first time... didn't work very well haha. I lived in Vancouver for some time, but it was in the summer around Surrey, so there weren't any rainy days. It's great to see other seasons in that country through your paintings

Thank you very much for your comment. I'm glad to hear that you tried watercolour painting. If you enjoy & keep doing it, you'll be able to master it, I'm sure! Nice to hear that you've lived in metro Vancouver area.
