Top 5 Licensed Photos

Each Painting Begins With a Photo – My Top 5 Licensed Photos of 2024

Road trips and travel have always been as integral to my artistic practice as the resulting paintings. Over the years, I’ve built an extensive catalogue of photographs, originally intended as reference material for my work. Recently, I decided to share some of these images more broadly by uploading them to 500PX and licensing select photos through Getty Images. While some photos remain part of my personal archive for future fine art prints, many others hold potential to inspire businesses and fellow creatives through licensing. It feels wasteful to capture these moments and keep them hidden, so I’m excited to release them into the world. Here are my top 5 licensed photos of 2024.

1.

West Maui Mountain Range: this photo was taken on one of many trips to the Hawaiian Island of Maui. Taken from a helicopter, the photo features the emerald green West Maui Mountains and valleys from the aerial perspective. When you visit Maui I highly recommend seeing it by air as it offers a jaw dropping perspective on the volcanic landscapes of the island.

2.

Sheringham Point Lighthouse: located on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, near the community of Shirley. Built in 1912 following the fatal wreck of the SS Valencia six years earlier, it is still used for navigation. The point was named for William L. Sheringham who took part in various naval surveys although not in this area.

3.

View from Burnaby Mountain: Located 20 minutes east of Vancouver and home to Simon Fraser University, you’ll find scenic views (especially at sunset), picnic and play areas, and trails primarily for walking and hiking through a conservation area on this 576 hectare (1,423 acre) mountain paradise. The park’s steep slopes are home to deciduous and coniferous trees, black tail deer, coyotes, bald eagles and smaller animals. Please be aware that black bears and cougars are occasional visitors to the creeks and streams near the forest trails. Bring your camera to capture the changing seasons–occasional snowfalls turn the park into a winter wonderland.

4.

Bleached Tree on Beach in Maui: the drive to Lahaina comes with many sea level spots where the road meets the ocean. On many of these sections of roadway you will find these bleached trees, white as snow and smooth as suede. Beautiful sculptures of nature against teal ocean hues. Pause and enjoy then nect time you are exploring Maui.

5.

Baby Pineapple: when you are visiting Maui do not miss the Pineapple Farm tours in West Maui. It is the only place you can see a pineapple at birth with it’s violet purple flower buds and pink hue. It’s why so many hummingbirds and bees can be found floating around these small gems of Maui.

Art Licensing in Canada: Digital Artwork Display in Toronto

I’m thrilled to announce that my recent artwork, Spirit of Remembrance: a modern take on Remembrance Day, will be displayed digitally all week in the heart of Toronto, Canada at 2 Bloor West. Licensed through a Toronto agency, Highness Global, this artwork will light up a high-end retail lobby on digital LED displays, offering a contemporary reflection on this important day. Digital artwork display with The Art of Brandy Saturley in Toronto, Canada.

Remembrance Day, for me, represents both a tribute and a moment of unity. In this piece, I wanted to capture the spirit of remembrance and respect while conveying a message that resonates with modern audiences. This artwork, which explores themes of peace, resilience, and Canadian identity, has been carefully designed to complement the upscale, dynamic setting of 2 Bloor West.

Art Licensing: More about the Original Artwork on Digital Display

The Remembrance Day themed artwork currently on digital display in Toronto, Canada is a version of the original painting below, Spirit of Remembrance. The painting is a modern take and comment on the day and what it means to the artist, Brandy Saturley. With vivid colours of reds and blues, the piece shows a woman in a military style red coat, on her knees, holding poppies on her back, her arms spread to the side as if she were to take flight, the composition and pose influenced by the Rolls Royce hood ornament. The red poppies on her back also hide her hands as her arms become the poppies. A moving comment on Remembrance Day in Canada.
