Is it laundry day or grocery shopping in this scene?
Well, spring is right around the corner.  Soon I'll be painting spring flowers. Happy Easter!

I gave this painting a tune-up. That's "Green's Grocery" on the corner down there. I't's been there ever since I can remember.

sold-Bolton Ontario

The Rialto has been around for I don't know how long. I watched Saturday Night Fever At this gorgeous theatre when I was a teenager. (Loved that Movie.....Love John Travolta).There used to be a gym downstairs from the theatre. I wandered into it once out of curiosity. It was the late sixties or early seventies. The gym was just like something out of Rocky. It had a boxing ring and there were men practising boxing and punching those leather punching bags everywhere. The place smelled so strong of sweat and testosterone...  I couldn't breathe. A big hairy man told me to scram. I ran out and never ventured back.  It would sure have made some great subject matter for paintings.
