Another commission from 2013 and, once again, for
"already Linnyland Collectors".
It was many whiles ago when Steve and Juliann first talked
to me about creating a Linnyland painting that would include
their nursery's historic water tower, so I was delighted
when Steve called last year to commission
the painting for Juliann's (special) birthday.
Since the 90's the Kimoff Farm tower
has been proudly "towering"at Juliann and Steve's
Central Saanich wholesale nursery.
Originally it "towered" in Victoria's Inner Harbour for a
roofing company (on the site where the Ocean Point Resort
is now located), then it "towered" for a View Royal sawmill and now
and forever it's "towering" in Linnyland surrounded by the
creatures that enjoy the good life at the Kimoff (Farm) Nursery.

Hello Linnyland!... A "towering" success... for many reasons!
ReplyDeleteAside for the usual whimsy and rich golden colour in this piece... the Hoodie-cat stand off... the smoke ring upwards towards the "fingernail" moon... and the heron silhouette... provide many reasons for looking past the intended focus... the Kimoff Tower!
Cool!
Good Painting!
Warmest regards,
Bruce
Thank-you, Barbara! (It's a magical place - their nursery & Linnyland!!)
