City of the Century, Vancouver, B.C. from Spanish Banks, October 4, 1984, by Toni Onley.  This painting was part of a series of 4 paintings created for Vancouver’s 100th birthday in 1986. The paintings were commissioned by a publication company that reprinted the paintings as a series of commemorative poster prints. Three of the four paintings were purchased from the publication company, and this painting is now displayed in Vancouver’s City Hall. The other 3 paintings from the series will be posted in days/weeks to come, and will be tagged “centennial”. The three other works in the series are Heritage by Michael Kluckner (as seen on p.217 of Vancouver Remembered) Waterfront City by Jack Shadbolt, and Sea Otter by American artist Hugh Ricks (I am missing a picture of Ricks’ Sea Otter painting; if anyone has the poster, or an image, please send it over! Thank you!)
