Chinatown Victoria BC

Shanghai City  12 x 12  Oil  SOLD
 
 
This is an image from our small but very vibrant Chinatown. It has a rich and fascinating history, and Dales Gallery which I have shown in, is just across the street. There are many rich colours on this street, but red is a standout, so I did a red underpainting and left patches of the red showing through.

  1. Happy New Year! Love this painting Claire. It shares a different side of Victoria. The people and vehicles gives it the feel of the hustle and bustle of the location.
