Winter Rain, University Ave, Toronto

I toned down the colour in this scene and returned to a more subtle palette.

A young woman heads home from work during a winter rain.

Verticals on Bay Street, Toronto

There is no rhyme or reason for the way the light falls in the city. With so many glass buildings creating reflections on other buildings, light and shadow pop up anywhere. This scene was around five o'clock, just in time for rush hour. A beam of light contrasts with the verticals of the tall buildings as it cuts across Bay Street in the financial district of Toronto. The old City Hall clock tower is visible at the end of the street.
