This old fishing wharf is located on the south arm of the Fraser River in Steveston and is part of a series of Richmond/Steveston landscapes I painted in the late 80’s. While living in mountainous Vancouver, my fascination was with the flatness of the Richmond river delta. The striated clouds are a common feature of this landscape, caused by winds funnelling in from the nearby ocean.
