B20/L6: Millions of Visitors visiting Vancouver during peak season will get their picture of the Vista over the First Narrows as spanned since 1938 by the Lion's Gate Bridge, toward the North Shore Mountains hovering at nearly 4000 ft. just a few miles away ~ from this site at Prospect Point. However, this pencil work portrays the way it's just as likely to appear, and feel, during the wet months.
B21/L16: A Suburban Split-Level House
B22/L18: Going up the Country
B23/L19: Howe Sound in Pencil

B32/L27: Another in a series of Black and White Pencil Renditions of English Bay Sunset in Summer
B33/L26: The S Curve. An original pencil drawing, from which no prints were made.
B34: "The Bedroom" Drawn meticulously graphite, the bedsheet's design was instrumental in the creating of the wrinkles, without actually drawing a wrinkle! This leads the viewer's eye into the complexity of reflections; the headboard was not only mirrored, but half of it was angled back at 45°, which further complicated reflected things such as lampshades, shadows, pictures, etc.. The hollow-core shiny wooden closet door reflects the sunlight brought in from outside on the lower-left side of the image. A simple scene, really, but with just enough reflective surfaces throughout this scene to allow this pencil art project ! drawn completely from somewhere else, by the way ~ to be complicated and very challenging. The non-shiny walls and carpeted floor reflect nothing, giving a little visual relief.
B35/L23: At One
B36: An original drawing of the Holland Block in Gastown (Colour Prints are available)
B37: Close-up of a large drawing depicting the ocean
B38/L29: Thirsty Canada Geese on the Stanley Park Seawall
B39: Pure Evil
B40/L34: Lost Lagoon
B41/L35: Off-season special
B42/i34: Original pencil sketch depicting a rear view of Villa Bellagio, Newport Beach, California. This was something of a time-consuming project with lots of small detail that was much more easily seen when color was eventually added to a print. The palm truck at left is actually well outside the frame, but was brought into the composition in order to break up the prominence of the arch, which is a little too far from center.
B43/L38: Therapy Row
B44/i32: Ladies on a Tropical Beach
B45/L36: The Accordion Player on Stanly Park Seawall.... because of the grass, his listeners tended to sit behind him....
B46/L40: Prints Propped Up. Pete's pencil prints sit as usual on the curb at a once favorite spot, as an autumn fog begins to invade the Stanley Park Seawall at English Bay.
B47/i38: An original drawing picturing A Praia Segunda (the Second Beach) at Morrow de Sɑ̃o Paulo, Brazil. No prints were made
B48/L42: Houses in a linear perspective, cast in evening sunshine.
B49/L41: Low tide at English Bay, looking from Pete's usual spot.. Original pencil drawing
B50/i41: While searching for a title to fit this tropical scene, the artist came up with - what else? - The Parrot Sketch.
B51/L45: West-End Heritage Houses
B:52 The Accordion Guy
C1: Blowing grass near the beach at English Bay.
C2: Bikes in the centrum of Amsterdam.
C3: Flower Boxes over Beach Avenue This 1931 Apartment house is positioned in this composition in such a way that the boringly dull concrete wall in the foreground had to be upstaged. So, along with the cantilever shadow and bright reflection off the small window to break that up a bit, careful sharp point work with hopefully a little movement was put into the tropical plants at the lower right. Voila. Now, the viewer's eye can move around the image to see English Bay and some detail including the all-to-well-known Vancouver rain puddles as they reflect the red bicycle -- along with an inspired idea by the artist, of Beach Avenue without automobile traffic. Lastly it is hoped that the birds flying have a way of providing a kind of bridge between the freedom & flexibility & liveliness & natural beauty in that tree, and the degree of rigidity back at that ugly wall.
C4/L8: Hundreds of vertical pencil lines is what essentially went into the making of this rendition of the Gastown Steamclock in the rain.
C5: "Dougie's Trike" After several decades, there it was, right on the showroom floor of an antique dealer on Main St. I recognized it instantly, then checked to make sure I was right. This lil' tricycle had many decades ago belonged to my brother. I thought that if I draw it, that might just halt a kind of nostalgic sadness, a longing for yesteryear...
C6/L11: By May in Vancouver, the bright greens of Spring are seen in all their beauty, as in this scene depicting English Bay Beach park area.
C7: "The Street Lawyer" was drawn on dark paper, with several colored pencils.
C8/i7: The Flower Vendor
C9/i8: This Brazilian scene depicting Morro de São Paulo in Bahia, Brazil was eventually used as a musician friend's album cover art, called Smilin' Island
C10/L13: Much of "Apartment Clutter and A Drawing Of It" was compromised of straight lines... whether they were actually drawn or not. This particular work of pencil art was inspired by the casting of shadows through venetian blinds facing the winter's lowered position of the early afternoon sun.
C11/i9: This Vancouver house is located on the South slope of Kerrisdale, around 50th & Granville. This rendition was originally drawn in pencil with color added later. This house was once a lottery prize, and palm trees were added as a matter of artistic license for more ambience.
C12: Pictured here is a print of a drawn image depicting The Barrington, at 1519 Beach Avenue in Vancouver.
C13/i11: "The Keys Breeze" This scene here was more about displaying movement rather than meticulous attention to detail.
C14/L17: "Low Tide"
Originally a pencil sketch in soft dark graphite, color was added later to this scene, which depicts Pete's spot at English Bay on the Stanley park Seawall at low tide.
C15/i10: Seawall Palm. This scene had been drawn before... this time, artist's license allowed for a big palm tree and other tropical plants right in the foreground, giving this image of English Bay more linear depth.
C16/i12: Originally a heavily-meticulous commissioned drawing for a collector staying here at the Tropical Inn on Key West's Duval Street, a print was made and color was added later with the use of watercolor pencil.
C17/i13: The Bayside Bikepath
C18/i14: In the Old Town area of Key West
C19/i17: "Rising Tide" Inspired by a memory of a certain spot in São Vicente, Brazil. The bike suggests a little life going on at the moment, and the soccer ball at the center stage here with its puddle reflection is a salutation of just how good they are at the game, even as kids. An authentic ball such as drawn here coupled with their out-and-out passion for the game will morph an entire neighborhood of kids into highly-talented players. Some, superstars.
C20/L20: Still water bayside as seen through the venetian blinds.
C21/L21: "A General Store Along Kootenay Lake" ... In BC's interior.
C22/L22: "The Girls at the Steamclock" was drawn during the height of the tourists season in Vancouver's Gastown area.
C23/i18: Near Streefkerk, Holland. Originally intended as a completed black and white charcoal drawing, with some color was added later.
C24/i19: Classic Cars On South Street, Key West
C25: "STREETWISE" was an off-the-cuff title of this rendering depicting a higher-end bicycle in its day. Drawn on dark paper, using white pencil first, then color.
C26: A fast-paced sketch depicting a scene looking through the windows of the lounge at the Sylvia Hotel, out over the waters of English Bay.
C27: Lots of movement --- and some detail in this drawing depicting a tropical storm moving. The fence posts have a way of tying this composition together.
C28/i22: This drawing depicting Volendam, Netherlands was originally in charcoal, with color added some time later
C29/L25: Original color on a printed drawing depicting the Gastown Steamclock along with reflections off the surface of an otherwise non-descript tour bus.
C30/i23: The Brazil Beach Breeze. One loner way in the distance, with their footprints left in the sand behind them gives the scene a little life.
C31: Powdered Wings On Ivory
C32/i25: De Reguliersgracht One lil' red boat works its way along this well-known tree-lined canal, under a series of parallel bridges in central Amsterdam... the arches of which a re well-reflected off the still water.
C33/i26: A tree-lined tropical beach in a somewhat isolated area
C34/L28: The Stanley Park Seawall at English Bay
C35: "A Place In The Caribbean" Before the color was added toa b/w print of the original pencil sketch, it seemed somewhat impossible for others to discern what it was they were gazing at --- even though the actual drawing comprises by far, most of the work. This is another example of the addition of color --- even though all the tonal values & contrasts (light on dark & dark on light) are carefully in place --- eliting much more general appeal, and even making that work of art easier to see. Here, the rigidity & straightness of the venetian blinds as they cast interesting shadows is tempered by the now-easier-to-discern flowing & swaying movement of the palm branches just outside.
C36/L30: Path, Puddles and English Bay
C37/i28: A Third-World Tropical Beach Community
C38/L31: Barney's Bench .... a favorite locations on English Bay.
C39/i27: is also C13
C40/L32: The Hotel Europa, aka The Flatiron Building, is a well-known landmark in Vancouver's Gastown, built in 1903. Drawn on location in pencil. Color added some time later.
C41/i29: Stranded In Paradise.... was a study in detail as well as movement, simultaneously. In drawing, it is usually a trade-off: Meticulousness, or spontaneous arm movement; one of the other...
C42/i30: The Picnic Table By The Ocean
C43/L33: The Fascination With The Wake. Bookin' at high speed back to the mainland, as another boat closes in on us. 37° C but the locals here are shivering...
C44/i31: Glendale Cover, located on Knight Inlet on BC's central coast, is a favorite rather isolated spot for wildlife photographers to capture grizzly bears in their natural habitat.
C45/L37: The Stanley Park drive in Vancouver provides inspiring views to visitors and locals alike at almost every point along the circular. And this spot near Brockton Point looking towards the Lion's Gate Bridge is no exception...
C46: The Log Cabin .... One of a great many isolated summer getaways by a late in BC's interior
C47/i33: The Conch House ... one of many in the Old Town area of Key West, and well-known to be heavily populated with chickens. Despite its clear appearance of poverty, the land is actually worth a absolute fortune.
C48/L39: Old Character Bikes Parked at English Bay
C49: The MV Queen of Sidney, built in 1960, is depicted here with the use of pen & ink, completed subsequently with watercolor.
C50/i35: Many many travellers from everywhere may recognize this scene in Venice. The reflections is enticing, and the mode of transport floating in the canal gives the composition some more life.
C51: A second-floor balcony along Beach avenue provides a golden early - summer evening view past the tropical plants and the movement of the flag, through the large Maple trees and out over the waters of English Bay.
C52/i37: The color rendition of an earlier completed black and white detailed drawing of the Ernest Hemmingway House in Key West, Florida. Up close, one can see reflections of reflections.

B18/L12: Light on Dark, Dark on Light - And Completely Made Up
C10/L13: Much of "Apartment Clutter and A Drawing Of It" was compromised of straight lines... whether they were actually drawn or not. This particular work of pencil art was inspired by the casting of shadows through venetian blinds facing the winter's lowered position of the early afternoon sun.
L14: The biggest crowd outside on such a miserable day is one couple sharing an umbrella
L15: The Grouse Mountain Skyride, built in 1966, is a favorite among visitors to Vancouver who love to take in the view from 1200 meters over the city and its surroundings. Drawn here very quickly at a feverish pace, with an attempt to show a rather shiny surface of the gondola & its surroundings.
B21/L16: A Suburban Split-Level House

Originally a pencil sketch in soft dark graphite, color was added later to this scene, which depicts Pete's spot at English Bay on the Stanley park Seawall at low tide.
