This painting captures the lively scene at the oldest grass tennis court in North America, located on Vancouver Island. The annual charity match between the Governor of B.C. and the media brings together spectators and players in a celebration of both sport and tradition. The vibrant depiction of the tennis matches, set against the lush greenery of the historic courts, reflects the enduring charm of this event. The original artwork holds a place of honor at the Wimbledon museum in the U.K., bridging the legacy of tennis across continents.
The literary figure leaning against the tree is no other than “Robert Service,” the great Canadian poet.
