I like to paint the atmosphere and feel of the city streets, but I also love the little details one finds in the city. For example, this street called Temperance has always intrigued me. I found a blog by James Bow who writes:
"The block bound by Yonge, Adelaide, Bay and Queen was owned by him, and
when the city approached him in 1837 to help them build a new road west
of Yonge between Richmond and Adelaide, he donated the land, with the
stipulation that alcohol never be sold on the new street. Thus
Temperance Street was born."
This scene features Temperance and Bay on a winter day.
