Shortly after work I took a stroll down Somerled Avenue and found heaps and heaps of slush. The partially melted snow was mixed with copious amounts of salt and sand. With a sunset brewing in the background, there was plenty of lights still reflecting off the moist road and sidewalk puddles. Today's subject matter was a throw-back to my early days when I would not hesitate to paint a hydrant or garbage can. Notably, the hydrants around town got a fresh coat of paint recently, to my eye it looks like they pyrol red, the same pigment on my palette.
