Waldemar Spring

This is an older piece from my Ontario days, when I used to walk an old railway line that ran from Grand Valley to Waldemar, Ontario. When we heard that a commercial enterprise threatened the trail, many of us banded together to form the Upper Grand Trailway to protect what has become a well loved nature trail for the community. 

I spent much of my time under that old elm tree. Unfortunately, that familiar landmark came down in a storm quite awhile ago; this painting lives on to immortalize this little piece of nature.
