Cindy Buckshon’s Transit Roots Art Exhibition opens this Saturday, February 11, 2012 at the Deer Lake Gallery in Burnaby. I’m resisting the urge to show a link to her blog to help build suspense! I just know this show will be loaded with Vancouver transit love, and I implore you to go and check it out! Makes a great Valentine’s expedition!

Reception is from 2-4pm, and refreshments will be served, the general public is welcome; transit riders especially welcome! I believe the gallery is only open Tues - Sat Noon - 4pm, so be sure to get there before 4!

17 UBC by Cindy Buckshon, another painting in her forthcoming series of Vancouver transit in art. Bonus points to the person who can identify where in the route the bus is located!

Update: Amanda’s reply in the comments is very close! The 17 bus doesn’t normally travel along Robson to Howe, does it? Unless perhaps it was being re-routed. The bus DOES go up Granville Street, and the Sears building is a perfect match to that big white building with a subtle grid pattern! I believe the painting is based on this Google Streetview, which reveals that the trees have been removed along that stretch of Granville Street. At present, the Google imagery still shows Granville is closed and awaiting repaving after the construction of the Vancouver City Centre Canada Line station. Good work, Amanda!
