Lakeshore Tunnel, Port Hope

This acrylic painting revisits a moment from the early 2000s, captured in the old tunnel on Lakeshore Road in Port Hope. The circular frame draws the eye from deep shadows into glowing colour—pink pavement, warm brick, and a wash of soft spring green. Standing in silhouette is Joel, pausing where the tunnel meets the light. The piece blends memory and mood, preserving the quiet stillness of a place that once held so many small, meaningful moments.
