8x10 Oil on Canvas
Fresh snow after a snow storm is illuminated by morning sunshine on McMurray Street in Dundas.
Dundas was once a manufacturing community before Hamilton became the larger city and took over. Dundas is mostly a bedroom community, but still has pockets of industry. This street leads to a manufacturing company that has been inexistence since 1840.
I was asked in the previous comments if I always use a limited palette. For sunny pictures, I usually use the limited palette mentioned in the previous post. For this picture, I added cadmium yellow light to mix the color required for the turquoisy/blue sky.
(I felt the snow banks were painted with too sharp edges, so I softened them and retook the photo.)

Really love this one, Catherine...all that lovely purple snow!
wonderful painting! it looks like the scene outside my window!
I usually find paintings of snow a bit depressing but yours always full of color and light.
Your wintery scenes always have that look of cold, fresh, pristine snow. Glisteny and beautiful!
I have always loved downtown Dundas. You have captured a beautiful scene in the industrial section.
