Can you tell where this is?

I have changed some details in this painting that may make it difficult to determine where this little general store is located. It seems to be a piece of history that stood still, especially with the phone booth nearby.  I can't remember the last time I used a phone booth!  I did many layers of paint in the sky during this painting, hoping to make it a dark sky at the end of the day, after the store had closed.  But it seemed so top-heavy.  So now it seems to be more like early morning.  You, as the observer, get to pick whatever time of day you like!  

                                             (By the way, the store is in Clifford, Ontario.)

Fall Inspiration

There is lots of inspiration at this time of year for putting paint on a canvas!  Here are some leaf and sunflower pieces, all of them quite small but delightful to work on.  The sunflowers were part of an afternoon demo and lesson I did at Wasaga Beach for my previous art group.  It was so great to see some of my art colleagues there and catch up on our lives!
