Painting Description

Using several winter photos of this back lane from my files, I created this view just off Peter Street in Kitchener. Freshly ploughed snow covers up any abandoned bits and pieces so common in such an area.

When I was an art student in Toronto in the 1960s, the back lanes around the art college became my studio, providing endless subjects for required projects. I developed a real affection for those out of the way lanes.

This painting, one of six produced for the Rogers Television Cable 20 series My View, was I think my favourite.

This original painting was part of a large group of paintings donated by the artist in 2014 to St. Mary’s Hospital.
