The Backstory:\u00a0<\/strong>New Brunswick is probably best known for its powerful tides that surge up and down the Bay of Fundy.\u00a0\u00a0 You can see the impact of that tide in action most dramatically at the iconic Hopewell Flowerpot Rocks.<\/p>\n

Other curiosities of New Brunswick include the optical illusion of Magnetic Hill in Moncton where cars seemingly roll uphill, and the Reversing Falls of Saint John where the Fundy tides meet the Saint John River.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve traveled to both Moncton and Saint John several times over the years for both work and pleasure. What intrigued me most on my recent visit to Saint John was the architecture of the city.<\/p>\n

This image features the welcoming front steps and doors that can be found leading into\u00a0the two story brick Italianate homes along Germain Street in downtown Saint John.<\/p>\n

Many of the grand homes along this street were built following the Great Fire of 1877 which destroyed 40% of the city.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How You Can Make This Painting Yours: <\/strong>In honor of our country\u2019s 2017 anniversary celebrations, I\u2019ve created one watercolor painting to honor each province.<\/p>\n

One unique provincial landscape, seascape or streetscape will be featured each week throughout the summer. Ten paintings are up for grabs \u2013 one for each province \u2013 and one each week.<\/p>\n

Each original painting is 8\u201d x 10\u201d in size and each one will arrive mounted in a double white mat bringing the outer dimensions to 11\u201d x 14\u201d – ready to pop into a standard frame of your own choosing.<\/p>\n

The price for each painting will be $150 (taxes included) plus $15 for shipping to anywhere in Canada.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for a unique remembrance of Canada 150, and you’ve always wanted to buy an original watercolor from the Pauseworks Studio, here’s your chance.<\/p>\n

Just send me an email message ( to pat@patkatzart.com<\/a>) with the words \u2018Canada 150 – I’ll Take It’ in the subject line. The first reader to call dibs on each week’s masterpiece takes it. Good luck to all!<\/p>\n
