Springtime Gifts
On the coin’s reverse, Canadian artist Elizabeth Sim has created an immersive viewing experience by blurring the line between reality and perception. Stretching across the entire reverse, the borderless background image offersa photo-realistic close-up of a flowerbed—specifically one thatshowcases several Canada 150 tulips in full bloom. In contrast, the easel-mounted canvas in the foreground is positioned in a way that suggests the viewer is in fact the artist, as the eye naturally lingers onthe finished painting of the white and red-flamed tulip. This simulation of a plein air painting experience is further enhanced by the integration of two advanced technologies: Texturized Colour, which gives the design its sense of depth and dimension by subtly raising the easeland canvas; and Canvas Effect, which artfully adds a touch of realismby mimicking the surface textures of a finished painting—including the artist’s brushstrokes.
This coin is the first issue of the En plein air.
The first coin of the series, released in May2017, depicts the Springtime Gits.
The second coin of the series, who will be released in June 2017, will depicts the Maritime Memories.
The third coin of the series, who will be released inJuly 2017, will depicts A Paddle Awaits.
