My painting of St. Mary’s Church in King Township near Nobleton, Ontario, is one of a series of local historic sites.  Built in 1855, the church served the numerous Irish émigrés who settled in the area following the potato famine of 1847, some of whom are buried in the adjacent cemetery.  A number of residents of King have responded to this painting with pleasure as it brings back memories of their family history.

Tame fish in a pond – not quite what I mean by Reef Fish;  these were in the fish pond at the entrance to a Chinese restaurant. Watch this spot for what the Koi look like in their natural habitat!
