Studio de Sans Pareil, Larry Stuart, Parksville

Larry Stuart is an accomplished artist working in various media and having been producing art since achieving my degree in Art from the University of Calgary in 1983. I have works in both private collections and corporate collections as Pan Canadian Petroleum ( Encana) and Esso ( Imperial Oil) .

My works include architectural renderings , portraiture and images of the west coast of Canada where I now make my home . I enjoy working in graphite , oils , watercolours and periodically multi - media .

My personal viewpoint is that we miss out on the simplistic beauty of something when we look at the overall picture , but when we zoom in, we see the real beauty , the texture , colour gradations in rocks or the many colours that are viewable when a wave is looked at up close or even the forest floor with its crushed leaves , broken branches and many colours that one can see in the shadows , light patterns and objects in the forest .

Recent paintings subject matter includes my images of the west coast ocean waves , rockscapes with the ocean architectural renderings of sections of buildings in France , Hungary , and Austria .
