Battle of the Brush S5E1
I have been working Battle of the Brush on and off for two years now. This incredible event, created by Golden Brush Art and held at Heritage Hall, featured five teams of artists creating a work of art in 80 minutes. The theme for the first episode of season 5 was Beats on Canvas, and the works were diverse and beautiful. Here are some photos from the first half of the event:

Brothers Creek Loop
On Saturday I ventured to my friends house on the North Shore. We planned for a photo adventure and settled on Brothers Creek Loop. We weren’t out for too long because of the rain, but I did manage to get a few good shots. The fog on the water was so thick, and we were so high up that you couldn’t see anything, but it was stunning. Everything was so lush and green. The trail was great, clearly marked paths but you could still explore. The trees were massive, and there were lots of streams, and bridges. It was a fun day, and hopefully next time when we go out…

Fogcouver Part 1
The fog has made a comeback in Vancouver. After my hair appointment, I followed Main Street down to C.R.A.B. Park. It was eerie seeing the ocean covered with fog, but Gastown and the train tracks looked stunning.

Portland Pt. 2
The architecture in Portland is outstanding. All the old buildings, stone streets and large trees makes Portland beautiful. Walking the streets and looking around was the best way to spend time, we barely went into any stores. Although we did find our way into Nordstrom Rack, where I got a Marc Jacobs coat for 140 bucks, 200 dollars less then the regular price – unreal. Anyway, here are some photos of the stunning buildings, enjoy!

Portland
When my parents came into town last week, we took a quick trip down to Portland. The city was a lot different then I was expecting, but it was too short a trip to really get a feel of the town. The buildings were higher, and there were roads and bridges high above the water. It felt more boxed in, crowded and removed from nature. The architecture is stunning, all the old buildings and stone streets were beautiful and the transit system is incredible. We had just enough time to explore the depths of Powells, drink too much beer at a Brewery and get lost in the wrong part of…

Battle of the Brush Grand Finale Part Two!
I am thrilled to be working with the team at Golden Brush Art. Every year they hold a live art painting competition called Battle of the Brush and their Grand Finale did not disappoint. The theme was Fairy Tales, and while all stayed within the realm of Disney movies, the paintings were distinct and beautiful.

Giants
The largest public art featured in Vancouver is the Giants by Brazilian twins Os Gemeos. They took over the concrete silos on Granville Island and created these incredible ‘giants.’ The work is beautiful from afar but close up the detail is insane. I can’t wait to see it when they finish!

Jelly Beans
Giant jelly beans are the latest public art installations in Vancouver. They sit along the seawall and are fully interactive. I watched a guy put his dog on top of one so he could take a picture of it, which is, I’m sure, exactly what the artist was expecting.
