Watercolour GIFT

Dr. Harrow deGroot owned this house on the Old Orchard Road in Prince Edward County. This was painted the spring before this house was burned to the ground. The 92 year old doctor and friend to many died in that fire.

This was my tribute to him, his daughter has the original painting.

yellow house .jpg

Watercolour (now showing at The Gates Gallery $650)

This house is located at the end of Old Portage Road in Carrying Place(c.1812). This road is the oldest in Ontario. The house dates back to pioneer days, built by Captain Robert Young. Apparently it still has a bullet hole in a kitchen cupboard from a nearby skirmish back in the 1800's. Fort Kente used to be located right across from it. Lots of history there.
