Path to Unknown by Richard Hoedl
36″x48″ Oils on Canvas
$5425
This painting depicts the path to Florencia Bay, on the day Richard sketched it out; I wanted to photograph the beaches distinct rocks at the base of the bluffs. The other artists in the group were fast to climb down the sandy bank to the beach, but Richard remained behind awhile to take in the trail and of course to consider the trees along the way.
Making Space by Richard Hoedl
48″x10″ Oils on Canvas
$1257
The west coast is known for amazing trees. Towering trees are perfect for a tall narrow space. Richard’s signature style of wrapping the image around the edges of the painting make this piece almost sculptural.
Life in Progress by Richard Hoedl
Oils on Canvas
48″x48″
$6032
Based on Tom Thompson’s Woodland Waterfall, Richard hoedl paints a lively depiction of the same scene, but in his own signature style. Simplicity is difficult without becoming saccharine, and while there’s a certain boyishness to Richard’s style it’s clearly not whimsical.
Soaring Dreams by Richard Hoedl
36″x36″ Oils on Canvas
(exhibition only)
Richard paints tress in his signature bright colorful style, this particular piece happened to be his wife Krista’s favorite painting. A similar piece was shown at their wedding.
Soaring Dreams has now returned to the Hoedl home after gracing the walls here at the gallery. We’re thankful to have been able to show it, and Krista no doubt is very happy to have it back.
Longing by Richard Hoedl
36″x48″ Oils on canvas
$4523
A contemporary depiction of Ucluelet Harbour featuring George Fraser Island, Chrow Island and Jenny Reef, in Hoedl’s signature simplistic styling.
I really enjoy seeing other artists’ interpretations of familiar local scenery.
