Bolton and Area

Pedaling up this hill is a real chore, it is the ironic Mount Pleasant road formerly known as the 9th line. Whomever renamed the road hadn't rode their bike up it that's for sure! From this vantage point on a clear day you can see all the way to downtown Toronto including the CN tower, although I exaggerated the scale of the city on the horizon for effect. 5 x 8" cold press, watercolour, 2000 - 2004?  


The next scene is closer to home, literally, it is a view underneath the large balcony in my parent's backyard. You can see their red fiberglass canoe, wheelbarrow, potted flowers, and patio furniture. I like the little slice of light on the end of the canoe. There is no garden here, which puts the date way back, it was done around the same era as the other painting or maybe a little later. 5 x 7" cold press, watercolour, 2002 - 2006?  


Here is a cool car that was for sale, it was on the corner of Mount Hope road (8th line) and Castlederg side road. I posted this before, but the picture was lousy, you can read more thoughts about it there. It was a little earlier than the others, I can only put ranges on the dates. 5 x 7" cold press, watercolour, 1997 - 2001?
