I get so sad every time it pops up in my feed.

Have the DVD, have it on DVR, sometimes just play it in the background while I'm cleaning the house.

And these lines send a chill

I finished a painting of Gord last year that I’d shared in this sub. (I ended up deleting my old account… bit of regret there lol) I wanted to reshare it if that’s okay!

It’s an 8 x 10” painting of Gord. It’s my favorite picture of him, taken by Gie Kneaps in 1991. It’s just got his… energy.

Don’t get me wrong, I love all eras of the Hip. I hadn’t seen a lot of art of Gord in his younger years so that’s why I chose this as my subject matter. Working on this painting helped me get through a very awful time in my life and I’m proud of how it turned out.

I’ve added some other pics to prove it’s me and no ai involved :)

I can still actually feel this photo.

A little over a year ago, I painted this piece, “Gord Downie” from one of The Hip’s final performances on their Man Machine Poem Tour, and realized I’ve never shared it on here!

I’ve been playing music by ear for around 17-ish years, so naturally I love to paint pieces that are, in some way, related to music. I’m also a big fan of The Tragically Hip, so it felt pretty special to bring this piece to life. I’ve more recently been able to start attending more live concerts & performances, so I’ve been loving being able to start taking my own reference photos, but the reference photo for this piece was taken by photographer Richard Beland, who graciously allowed me to reference his photography to create this painting!

& for some shameless self-promo, although the original has sold, I do sell prints through my website/shop, www.teresart.ca, and also on etsy https://teresatreen.etsy.com 🙂 I also make custom/commissioned paintings, and would LOVE to paint another Gordie portrait!! So if you’d ever like me to paint you an original Gord Downie piece (or a non-Gord Downie piece for that matter), I would love to brainstorm with you! (all of my commission & contact information can be found on my website).

Let me know what you think!!

This little chap was found in our parking lot yesterday in the rain. Decided that Gordie was a fine name for him.

Finally finished a painting of Gord from their last show in Kingston. Hope you like it.

Something like:

“Touching stones and the Swedes get sweeter”

I painted this at the start of 2020 for a neighbour when I was 17, oil on canvas

Selling. Tragically Hip one of a kind selling options/ideas?

HUGE piece of artwork/door signed by The Hip. Its from a fundraiser auction. Does anyone know how to go about selling an item like this? Thanks

Title: Rare Authentic Tragically Hip Signed "Red Door" Painting by Heather Haynes (With Provenance)
Description:
For sale is a highly unique piece of Canadian music history and fine art. This is the original "Red Door" collaborative painting created by acclaimed regional artist Heather Haynes, hand-signed by all five members of The Tragically Hip (including Gord Downie).
This piece was originally created and sold in 2013 as part of the Gilda's Club Southeastern Ontario Red Door Art Project charity auction right here in Kingston.

Have we ever tried to get Gord Downie on Canadian money? I know there are rules about what makes someone able to be on money but the PM could change these rules.
Gord being on a paper bill would be more representative of what defines Canada than our parent’s Prime Ministers.
Couldn’t we do a petition or something?

4 FT X 4 FT painting of our beloved frontman to The Hip! Gord Downie! Prints are available if in North America! Message for details!

I'm decorating a new space and wanted something special for it, so I reached out to u/Hlantaart to see if he'd do a custom Gord piece for me. He did and this is it. I couldn't be more thrilled with how it captures his magic. Can't wait to hang it up!

I would have to say Cordelia personally. Would love to know what everyone else thinks.

Hampton Beach Casino (After the show on the beach Gord gave my friend his broken banana - the photo is of the actual banana.). She still has it to this day and swears that if there was a fire she might save the banana before the kids.

My vote would be for The Moment is a Wild Place. Amazing singing on that song.

Are you really the messiah?
