#0459 "Rainy Day Golden Rod"

This was looking out the northwest window of the "Great Room" from the Watershed Farm on the 12th Concession of King Township. It was a very windy and rainy day and I decided to paint from inside. The winds were blustery out of the southwest and the light was wet and diffuse! Goldenrod were blooming everywhere. The wet weather was keeping my honey bees in their hives. Everything was lush and growing though.

The pond in the painting drained to Lake Ontario through the Humber River. The front yard drained to Lake Simcoe through Kennifick Lake on the north side of the Oak Ridges Moraine. These rolling hills were the token from the last ice age and filled the aquifers that fed the hunry cities to the south and the north.
