More paintings from around the corner

It’s a beautiful day in the neighbourhood. I am continuing with the series I started in 2014, It’s a beautiful day in neighbourhood, Around the Corner.

The weather is becoming chilly, and even though there are days when it is comfortable for me to paint outside I am shifting to painting in my comfortable studio using references that I have gathered on sketchbook, and on camera.

For better or for worse, my adopted neighbourhood is changing and I want to make paintings of the different places in the neighbourhood before they will either be demolished or changed into something else. There are too many places that we take for granted, and before we realise it, they are relegated to memories of the past and perhaps even sorely missed. Ah, those were the days, we will fondly say with nostalgia. Alas nothing stays to same.

Here are six of my personal favourites that I recently did. Many of my paintings are of places not far from my studio. I seldom wander far from my studio before I see something to paint.
