Queensville Flats

 Most summers my brother takes one passenger per trip on a sunset tour in his 1966 Alpine Sunbeam with the top down. Last July 1, we toured the old town of Newmarket, Holland Landing, and the Queensville Flats. Mom is from Queensville originally, and family is buried there on a ridge overlooking the flats with lake Simcoe far in the background. 

This last photo was a reference for a digital painting in which I exaggerate the cool lilac water in the distance. Sometimes art gives me a chance to show the way things impress me, weighing the parts differently from the photo and emulating more of my memory of that place and time.
