Where the Day Began

Joanne Hastie (2025). Where the Day Began. Vancouver.

Incredible new works from Joanne Hastie from Vancouver. The forest is really in the centre. What a colourful work. It is as if you were there this very morning.

The painting is in Mount Seymour’s “Greenland” trail in North Vancouver. The artist: “A glowing magenta sky filters through tall evergreens, casting warm morning light on the vivid yellow lichen below. Inspired by early mountain bike rides, this painting captures the quiet anticipation of a new day—before the trail gets busy and the forest fully wakes up.”

Great work.
