I love a picture that tells a story. King Street East near Walnut Street tried to make a comeback, but in this area, most of the stores and restaurants are covered with iron gates or boarded up.

Most of our snow has disappeared after a few days of above freezing weather and rainfall. This corner of Cannon and James has a great building. All of the windows have been covered with plywood painted an orange color to match the brick. Although I wish the building would be restored, I can't help being intrigued by the color combinations and reflections.

Landed Banking and Loan, James Street Hamilton


11" X 14"
Oil on Canvas
The Building on the left of this painting is a wonderful building with huge "Corinthian" Pillars across the front. Hamilton is a city blessed with great architecture, often unappreciated. When looking for a future plan, the powers that be can't see what is right in front of them. There is a reason why people flock to Europe, and Old Montreal, and Quebec City...and its not for the shyscrapers. Old buildings provide interesting street scapes where people want to be. I didn't want to get preachy, but its hard to see so much history and beauty be replaced by parking lots and faceless facades.
