Fred Varley Drive, Unionville

This place is so beautiful with lots of scene for sketching. And it's very close to where we live. The leaves are in green and red colours are very distinctive.

There were brides and grooms for photo taking. It was only about 13C and we can see the brides were shaking.




我們又來到Unionville,這個有二百年歷史的小鎮風景很美,是寫生的好地方。在這個建築物前面有幾棵樹,葉子的顏色很特別,紅葉綠葉。

附近有幾對新人在拍照,只有13C的下午,我也感受到穿上婚紗的新娘在風中抖震著。

Starbucks, Unionville

It was raining today, we went to Starbucks in Unionville to have coffee and chat. The shop is in a village house with 2 storeys. There are beautiful trees with different colours of the leaves.

Too Good Pond, Markham


Today I went to the artificial lake in Unionville. It was about 9C. As a person from Hong Kong, I feel it's winter now. Sun was shining and I feel warm under the sun. 2 weeks ago, I was in Lau Fau Shan, Hong Kong for sketching. Today, I am in Toronto and doing the same thing. The difference is no mosquitos here. Sitting on the grass, I could not find any insect. Some people jog here.

Owing to the low humidity, the watercolous dries fast, I need to draw faster. The maple leaves around the lakes are in red, so beautiful. There are some geese and ducks swimming. When I was drawing, there was a duck comes. Maybe she wanted to take a sun bath. Sometimes the flock swims towards  me, I feel so countryside.

And I think I cannot go outside soon as the weather is too cold to me.

今天去了Unionville 的人工湖寫生,氣溫只有攝氏9度,對於一個剛從香港來的人,我已覺冬天來了。陽光很猛,但感覺溫暖。兩星期前還在流浮山寫生,今天已到了Toronto寫生。這裡沒有蚊釘,坐在草地上,好像也沒有昆蟲。不時有些人在跑步。

由於濕度低,水彩好快乾,要快手上色。湖邊楓葉轉紅,很美,加上湖上有很多鴨鵝,好有詩意。寫畫時,有隻鴨子上了岸,可能是晒太陽,之後有一群游過來,真是很郊外。


可是天氣對我來說很寒,能出外寫生的日子不多,要等天氣回暖才可以到外寫生。
