January Snowstorm, Spadina Avenue, Toronto

12 x 12 oil on panel
 I have some shows coming up and I like to have a mix of subjects and seasons, so I'm sorry for the snow storm at this point in our short summer season.
I've wanted to do this scene for awhile. I like the composition with the streetcar, shelter, and people dominating the foreground. I wanted to keep the feel as realistic as possible, including the dirty messy snow and the refuse container that shows up in so many Toronto scenes. (I often take them out). No matter how often I paint snow, I'm still learning.

Hi Catherine,

I think the past couple of very hot days called for some
snow -- as delicious as an ice-cream cone.

Super painting.

XOXOXOXOXO Barbara
