About the Artwork
View from Stanley Park is a 30 × 40-inch acrylic-on-canvas painting by Fraser Brinsmead. From the Stanley Park seawall, a seated figure looks south across Coal Harbour toward downtown Vancouver. Canada Place's white sail-form roofs extend along the left side of the waterfront, while a docked vessel and low harbour buildings lead toward the city's closely grouped towers. Harbour Centre and the Vancouver Lookout rise near the centre of the skyline.
The composition is built from horizontal bands of grass, pathway, water and architecture. Reflections repeat the waterfront structures in strokes of blue, white, teal and ochre, while the towers introduce strong vertical forms above them. Overhanging foliage frames the upper-left corner, connecting the park viewpoint to the city beyond. The solitary figure and bench establish the viewing position and provide a measured sense of scale within the broader harbour scene.

Accessibility Description
A horizontal harbour cityscape viewed from Stanley Park. In the foreground, a band of green grass meets a pale path running across the lower edge. A solitary person sits on a bench near the left, facing the water and downtown Vancouver. Dark leafy branches enter from the upper-left corner and frame the view. Coal Harbour occupies the middle of the image in blue and teal, with broken reflections of white roofs, vessels and waterfront buildings. Canada Place extends from the left with a row of white sail-form roofs. A docked vessel and low structures lead toward a dense group of grey, blue and beige towers across the centre and right. Harbour Centre rises above the surrounding buildings near the middle of the skyline. The city is set beneath a light blue sky with soft white clouds. Horizontal layers of grass, path and water contrast with the vertical buildings. Small strokes in the harbour create rippled reflections. The painting is acrylic on canvas and measures 30 by 40 inches.

Carrier coverage and additional insurance
Artwork ships with the basic coverage included by the carrier. This coverage is subject to the carrier’s terms and limits and may not cover the full value of the artwork. Clients may arrange additional insurance themselves or ask the Gallery for a quote for coverage under the Gallery’s policy before shipment.
Exchanges
Ordinary goods are final sale, except where required by law. The Gallery may, at its discretion, offer an exchange or store credit; a request does not guarantee approval.
Request a discretionary exchange in writing within seven calendar days of the invoice or Bill of Sale date for in-gallery purchases, or within seven calendar days of delivery for shipped purchases within Canada or internationally. Obtain authorization before returning goods. Approved returns must meet the condition, documentation and packaging requirements in our Return & Exchange Policy.
Gift certificates, commissions, special orders and layaway/payment-plan purchases are excluded from the ordinary discretionary exchange policy. Separately agreed terms and statutory rights remain unaffected. The accepted quote and accompanying terms govern your transaction; later website updates do not change an existing agreement.
Damage reporting
Inspect the artwork and packaging promptly. Report damage or discrepancies as soon as possible, preferably within 48 hours of delivery or pickup, with available photographs of the artwork, packaging and shipping label. Retain all packaging while the issue is investigated. Missing this requested reporting period does not by itself remove statutory rights. Carrier and insurer requirements depend on the actual service or policy. Read our Return & Exchange Policy.
Artwork Care
CARING FOR YOUR ARTWORK
Display
Hang artwork away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and air vents. UV exposure causes fading over time — UV-protective glazing is recommended for works on paper and photography. Avoid hanging artwork above fireplaces or in bathrooms where heat and humidity fluctuate.
Cleaning
Dust frames gently with a soft, dry cloth. Never use household cleaners, water, or solvents on the artwork surface. For oil paintings, a soft-bristle brush can be used lightly to remove surface dust. Professional cleaning is recommended for valuable or delicate pieces.
Temperature & Humidity
Maintain a stable environment — ideally 18–22°C (65–72°F) with 40–55% relative humidity. Rapid changes in temperature or humidity can cause warping, cracking, or flaking. In Alberta’s dry climate, a humidifier can help protect your collection during winter months.
Handling & Moving
Always handle artwork with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. Carry framed works by the sides of the frame — never by the hanging wire. When transporting, wrap in acid-free tissue or soft blankets and keep upright. For valuable pieces, professional art handlers and custom crating are recommended.
Storage
Store artwork upright in a cool, dry, dark space. Use acid-free materials for wrapping. Never store artwork in attics, basements, or garages where temperature and humidity are uncontrolled.
Insurance
We recommend insuring your art collection. An up-to-date appraisal (every 2–3 years) ensures proper coverage. West End Gallery offers professional appraisal services — please enquire for details.
