Let's take a tour of Bolton and surrounding area! We start off with a walk in the Bolton camp trails and find the iconic water tower. The leaves have changed colour and the sky is turbulent. Bolton Water tower, landscape 6.5 x 11", cold press, watercolour 1993 (No. 0040)
Amazingly, it snowed all afternoon and changed seasons! We can go for some cross country skiing up in Albion hills conservation area. This scene is where the trail turns sharply and presents some of the greatest views of the rolling hills and farms of the surrounding area. I have made other paintings from this area.

And what a way to end the day, we head downtown to the Mainstreet Station in Bolton. Many a good pints and clubhouse sandwiches were eaten there, and the staff were great! They changed their sign a few times since then, and then sadly closed up shop a few years back. Now its time to walk back up the hill.

But we still have to walk back up the hill to get home. On the way all the snow has melted and it is fall again, or maybe we had one too many pints? This is the Bolton Cemetery war memorial commemorating the fallen soldiers of the great war, and world war II. We loop around the back road and finish the walk along the path back to home. 6.5 x 11" cold press, watercolour 1993 (No. 0041)
