Leanne M. Christie’s painting presents a striking view along East Georgia Street in Vancouver’s Chinatown. In this work, the viewer stands in the center of the road looking west toward a modern downtown skyline. The highrises of Vancouver are visible in the distance, forming a sharp contrast with the older, historic buildings that characterize Chinatown. Dominated by the warm colors of autumn, the scene is filled with rich yellows and deep oranges that evoke a crisp seasonal atmosphere. The use of simple, confident brushstrokes suggests the forms in the painting without detracting from the overall composition. Christie’s approach is direct, focusing on the interplay between contemporary urban growth and the enduring heritage of the neighborhood. The painting captures a moment of quiet observation amid the bustle of city life, inviting viewers to reflect on the dynamic layers of the urban landscape. With intentional brushwork and a balanced color palette, this work is both a documentary and a personal interpretation of Vancouver’s ever-changing cityscape. It is a thoughtful portrayal of contrast, continuity, and the passage of time in one of the city’s most historic districts.
