Toronto Tugboat

This painting was inspired by a visit to the docks area of toronto.The old tugs free from the water and encased in snow make interesting subjects.

The colourful shapes and varied textures lend themselves to a paintbrush , palette and eventual cold.

This Old Century House

This image was painted on one of those sunny march days where strong light and equally strong shadows are seen.This house is also abandoned and about to be demolished to make way for the proposed airport.Abandoned properties and a vanishing way of life is a favourite subject.
