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.

Hamilton has so much amazing architecture, much of it, sadly, in a state of disrepair and waiting for the wrecking ball. This old building has had plywood applied to all of the windows and painted a "matching" brick colour.

Early spring on a rainy day in Jamesville. I was going to refrain from too much commentary, but obviously this is impossible for me. I have decided to put down my small round brushes for awhile, in favour of larger flat brushes.
