Description
This is an interesting landscape watercolour of the "Fog Bell" below Mississauga Point, showing the wooden "groin" constructed to prevent erosion of the beach. The painting features a nice contrast of rocky cliffs and the soft shoreline of the nearly oceanic Lake Ontario lapping at the shore. The warm colours chosen by the artist convey a soft and warm day, although there appears to be a looming potential for fog. Painting by E.A. Currie.
