On the Skytrain

The sky train is the elevated commuter system in and around Vancouver.

Handcar, CPR station, Port Moody, BC

Port Moody was the original western Canada terminus for the Canadian Pacific Railway, before it went to Vancouver. The old station and some equipment are preserved as a heritage site. This hand operated "handcar" took a couple of workers along the track for maintenance jobs.

St. Pauls from the MIllenium Bridge, London

I saw this in May on our trip to the UK. Drew it from a photo, so not strictly according to the Urban Sketch rules of actually drawing on site. Couldn't resist doing the drawing.

Power Poles, Port Moody, BC

Drew this fot the urban sketchers discussion group weekly project which is power poles.

Langley Townhouses

Langley BC has gone from rural to pretty urban in recent years. Sat in a coffee shop and drew these townhouses with my neat new pen, a Sakura SumoGrip II gel 05, waterproof ink etc. Maybe I draw just so I can cruise the art supply stores.

Port Moody

Port Moody BC Canada has a new condo village, retail stores on the ground floor, residences in the high rise above. Very convenient place to live/

Poco

Port Coquitlam street stuff.

Steveston Cannery

Steveston, BC was once the centre of the Fraser River salmon fishing industry, docks, cannery's, shipyards, the works. Now most of the fish have disappeared and the business is a shadow of its former self. I drew some old cannery buildings.

Fun drawing day

Granville Island hotel boat dock.

Sat drawing in the sun at a coffee shop on Pacific Boulevard, watching the world go by. A very discerning gentleman passed behind me, looked at my drawing and complimented me on it. Made my day!

Warming up at Burrard and Davie.

Had a great day drawing around downtown Vancouver.
