24x24 oil on board
November in southern Ontario could be described as "dirty". Most of the leaves are gone, few plants are growing, and browns and grays dominate the view. The entire month seems to be cloudy. I started this painting during the rain we had a few days ago.and continued until the rain we are having today. I knew it was a busy scene and a real challenge, but I wanted to take it on. This corner of Bay and Dundas is cluttered with unique looking buildings, street car lines running every which way, and I particularly like the sign on the side of the Canadian Tire store that states " carry only a smile, free delivery".

You make "dirty" so appealing. Love that it is a larger piece. I sure it is as wonderful in person.
An absolutely wonderful painting, Catherine. I love the reflections in the shadow and that diagonal is a great design element.
Would love to see this is person - sure the size combined with the mood you captured is amazing!
Very nice painting. It gives me the feeling of wet, but I love the rain. The smile helps!
One of your best Catherine...it really makes me smile!
