I have painted many scenes along Colombia way, it is the main access road to the suburb where my parents live, the same house I spent most of my teenage years. This view has been protected by the city for decades to prevent urban sprawl, so you still get good views of the horizon.

Going to Bolton I thought I would not see pylons... at least they were different than the Montreal ones, orange and black instead of orange and white, or pink. A stand of pine trees in the background had snow on their boughs.

Appreciating some colour on an otherwise grey day, I painted this pink store downtown using magenta paint (PR122). It was so dim and overcast on this afternoon, that the lights were illuminating the front of the building. I found the scans of these Bolton paintings recently as I have been updating the catalogue and organizing the pile of paintings. I have a few more to number and file, but so far, there were 875 paintings done in 2024. It will top out a little higher than that, its nearing double the number from 2023. But who's counting?
