The first big snow fell in Bolton, it gave a light dusting over the storm pond that they finished renovating recently. Reeds and tall grass have grown back, and in the summer I saw ducks swimming around. As I painted this scene it was pure silence until several groups of geese in V formation flew overhead and I hoped that they wouldn't crap on me. That didn't happen luckily, and I decided to fit in some geese to the final painting for some ambiance. It was a stark contrast to Toronto where I spent most of the week at the multiple sclerosis conference. There are about 10 paintings from Toronto that I will post later, it was the first time in awhile I painted downtown. The buildings were dense and very high, although I found some neat angles.
