Slow Ride

9x12
Oil on Linen Board

Any given day on Granville St. in Windsor traffic slows to a halt - not for any real particular reason other than motorists riding slowly braking every few feet to beep their horns and converse loudly with their pedestrian friends on the sidewalk. This can last for several minutes as there may be more than one group of folks that the driver feels the need to let his or her presence known to - especially if the car is a new purchase or has just been detailed. Friday afternoon is probably the peak of activity on this little strip of old buildings that once flourished with little retail shops, but this particular scene was a slow ride on a Sunday afternoon with not a whole lot of folks to engage with.
