A detailed photo-realistic watercolor painting titled 'Market at Roslindale' serves as the article header. The bold, dark brown text 'Reality Check' is centered at the top. Below, a bustling farmers market scene shows multiple canvas stalls lining a paved street. Vendors and customers interact around tables piled high with wooden crates of fruits and vegetables, like apples and tomatoes, in shades of red, green, and orange. In the foreground on the left, several people, whose faces are intentionally left featureless per the artist's style, walk past, including one woman in a bright pink top and another in a light green shirt. On the right, a vendor in a green shirt helps a customer wearing a light-colored, patterned short-sleeve shirt and a light green baseball cap, viewed from behind, browse the produce. Wooden crates labeled with posters and signs, and black wire baskets are visible. A red hanging scale is prominent. The background features more market activity and trees.

At first glance, you might think the paintings of local artist Daniel Austin are photographs of buildings. But look a little closer and you’ll view them through the lens of an artist who sees them as living, evolving structures with a story to tell.

Lightning Lacrosse

Josh Bischof, president of the McDowell Trojan Lacrosse Booster Club, has been involved in the sport for years. His oldest daughter, Adelaide, began playing in fourth grade and fell in love with it.

The Gift of Unconditional Love

Dogs can make a house a home, with their constant love and devotion to their families. But now and then, some of them need our help to live a stable, happy life. Nothing is quite like a dog, who’s always happy to see you when you arrive home from a tough day at work. A pet’s unfailing love and support makes the world feel like a nicer place.
