![The H.R. MacMillan Planetarium, Vancouver, a watercolour painting by Edward Goodall. Image from a printed note card. “The H.R. MacMillan Space Centre, founded 1968…was designed in the 1960s by architect Gerald Hamilton to house what was then called The Centennial Museum. The planetarium was added as part of a pre-construction re-design.” [wikipedia]
As mentioned previously, Edward (Ted) Goodall “…began drawing pen and ink and pencil postcards of Vancouver Island and started the successful “Goodall’s Pencil Postcard Series.” …In the early fifties he produced a British Columbia calendar of scenes from the west coast first in pencil drawing but over the years eventually replaced them with paintings. source
This watercolour is perhaps a good example of his later work, and those who can recognize which towers grace the skyline will be able to accurately date this view’s vintage. Edward Goodall passed away in September of 1982.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lq0bv1s4dY1qc7pjjo1_1280.jpg)
