T.G.I.F. Osgoode Hall, Queen Street

12 x 12 oil on panel
I love the colours and reflections of night. The wonderful fence at Osgoode Hall is visible to the right.

Snowy Day on Queen Street

30 x 40 Oil on canvas
I've been working on this one for a week, and I think its time to put it away to dry and come back for a look later. I still find it difficult to portray the large buildings and have them recede into the distance with the proper greys.

The Colours of Night, King Street, Toronto

16 x 16 oil on canvas paper
This painting is another study on paper. I wanted to see if the colours would work ok together before doing it on a larger scale. I like the way it turned out. The light on the Standard Life Building at 121 King street West changes colours, illuminating the entire corner in pink, purple, or blue. I never tire of finding new compositions for this corner.
A wet snow was falling, adding to the atmosphere.
