Lawrence West Station #2 2019, Oil on Wood 11" x 14" I recommend checking this subway station if you get a chance to go to Toronto. The architect that designed this station designed quite a few of the stations in Toronto Canada. It has a really nice industrial vibe to it and the lighting that it gets during the summer is gorgeous.

“Union Station # 14” 6" x 8", Oil on Wood. For those outside of Canada this painting is based on Union Station in Toronto Ontario which is I think Canada’s largest station. . This piece gave me quite a bit of trouble I ended up leaving it alone for about a week because something felt off at the beginning but I couldn’t figure out what. I did small value sketches and I think I finally fixed it. As always let me know what you think of this piece.😊

St.Clair Station #1, Oil on Wood 11" x 14" St.Clair Station in Toronto Canada. This specifically caught my eye because of the bright orange in parts of the station, even better because it can be seen with the purple.
