Masik. An abstract artist, was doing her thing in the downtown core of Vancouver. I love it when artists express themselves creatively in public. She had paint all over her, in her hair, on her face, and thumping dance music echoed off of the office buildings. I liked this photograph the most, out of the 50 or so I snapped of her, because it was one of the ones that showed the most motion.
I managed to talk to her assistant, and swap emails, after the artist had finished creating this gorgeous piece, and told her I would email a few touched up pictures to her so that they could use it on the Masik website. This painting will sell for 25 to 30,000 dollars at the very least. colours were not enhanced, light levels were balanced, and shadows were adjusted. That's the closest I can get it to capturing it in reality.
The inspiration is apparently a scenic view from Stanley Park, from what I could gather, and if you unfocus your eyes, and just look at it from a distance, you can see the mountains, and you can see the water. That's what I adore about abstracts, is that you can see anything you want in a painting, it all depends on your brain.
There's ALWAYS a bonus to having a camera on hand at all times.

Amazing! I can just imagine the energy and excitement. You're right about the camera thing. There have been so many times I have wished I had my camera with me.
