| The following prints now hang in my home. Three of them are signed by the artist. |
![]() Coastline, copyright Steve Hanks |
|
I purchased Coastline when I was in university. It caught my eye the moment I saw it. Perhaps I inherited my dad's love of the ocean. He worked on oil tankers for over 10 years in the 50s and 60s. The scenery reminds me of Portugal where my parents have a home and where the cliffs drop off in the same dramatic manner into the Atlantic. |
![]() Reflecting, copyright Steve Hanks |
|
Reflecting is another of Steve's prints that I like. The woman in the painting seems relaxed and at peace. She's not worried about what she looks like or what others might see. This print was kindly purchased by Bev and given to me. |
![]() Ashley, copyright Steve Hanks |
|
Ashley is me. That's me standing by the waters edge. I do that often and can stay there for the longest time thinking, comtemplating, or just watching the tide ebb and flow. I think the awesome power of the ocean is mesmerizing. This print was a gift from Bev, who has accepted that I am a Steve Hanks nut. It is also signed by the artist. |
![]() Leaving in the Rain, copyright Steve Hanks |
|
Leaving in the Rain nearly bit me the first time I saw it. From my site you can tell that I have traveled and that I enjoy doing so. The woman at the train station is waiting for that train in the distance. From her luggage you can see that she has traveled and is yet to embark on another journey. She's alone at the station because I believe it represents her experiences both in the past and in the future, it's what she sees through her own eyes, and that's personal to each and every one of us. No one sees things the same way, we each experience things from different points of view. This print was a gift from Andrew. It is also signed by the artist and it is a limited edition. |
![]() Living the Dream, copyright Steve Hanks |
|
Another signed, Steve Hanks masterpiece that I acquired this spring. A very similar print, also by Hanks, though much bigger, and a limited edition, hangs in the living room of a dear friend of mine. |
