Night Snow at Queen's Quay

12 x 12 oil on canvas

I used the study from the previous posting to recreate this scene on a larger canvas. Doing the colour study helped a lot in choosing my colour palette. It is much better to experiment on the small size on canvas paper. I'm happy with the results. I decided to add snowflakes to enhance the mood of a "first snowfall" .

This painting will be available at The One Of A Kind Show in Toronto in November.

The Colours of King

11 x 14 oil on panel

I put a little more detail in the figure than I normally do, but still tried to keep it loose. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am "warming" up my colour palette with the addition of terra rosa and transparent oxide red.

Last week we had a March rainfall (with a touch of snow)  and I was able to get some evening photographs in the King Street area. There were lots of interesting umbrellas.

In this scene, a young woman walks past Tiff Bell Lightbox on King Street.
