Steven Henderson, 2nd Sting, Sorauren Park, Toronto captures a lively sweep of early autumn colour in one of the city’s most beloved neighbourhood green spaces. Henderson paints the park with brisk, confident strokes, using gouache-like opacity and a vibrant palette to convey the immediacy of painting outdoors. The curved white path anchors the composition, pulling the viewer’s eye into a grove of trees where the season shifts in real time—from fresh green to warm gold to flashes of brilliant red. Each tree is rendered as a cluster of expressive marks rather than detailed foliage, giving the scene a rhythmic, almost musical energy. The result is a spirited study of light, motion, and seasonal transition, distilled into a small but exuberant plein-air panel.
