"Sharks in the Water"

Almost all of the boats are stored on land during the off-season. Finally, its time to launch. Shark owners are a lucky bunch. They can launch their own boats any time, and so they are often the first in the water and the last out. The "Shark" has been around for many years, and it is still a popular boat for sail boat racing. These two sharks are moored on the old docks at The Royal Hamilton Yacht Club in Hamilton Ontario.

Another rainy spring day on James Street North in Hamilton. The leaves are a little more subtle than depicted here, but I am trying to rush into summer.

Its another rainy Monday. This is one of the Tim Hortons in Dundas Ontario, the one we call "the old Tims" because it was here first. A very popular spot to drink coffee, and in the summer, hang out by your car or motorcyle and drink coffee!

"Last Snowfall" James South Hamilton

I am being hopeful calling this picture "Last Snowfall". It is unusual to get snow in April, but yesterday we awoke to snow covered roofs and slick roads. I thought I would capture this last winter scene of James Street south in Hamilton. The sun is getting much stronger, and so all of this snow will be gone by the time the picture is done.

"Successive lamposts"

We are having our April Showers which could easily become April snow showers. This is a street off of James Street North in Hamilton. I had a short time to paint today, and I was determined to finish the painting. It was done quite loosely, but I think I like the result.
