This was the view from the apartment in Mississauga
just west of the Rattray Marsh, where we lived in the 1980s.
When I was thinking of a name for the
painting, I determined the distance to Toronto using Google Maps, and will
admit I had thought it was much further, as it took a full hour on the GO Train
to get there.
I only ever saw this combination of black thunderclouds
and luminous pale green lake a couple of times during the four years we lived
there, but it’s what I remember the best.
