Art Walk

The Yonge Lawrence Art Walk is continuing till November 4. Local businesses highlight original artwork in window displays and in-store. They do a wonderful job of working with the artists to create an exciting annual event. Look for "official participants display cards" and VOTE online for the "People's Choice Award" for best Art Display. Come "walk the ARTWALK" and check out original artwork by local artists in a variety of media.  Visit www.yongelawrencevillage-bia.com/  for details.
This year, I will be located in the window of Papermarche at 3429 Yonge Street. http://www.papermarche.com/ with two paintings which bring back wistfull memories of "cottage country" in the summer.

It's All About Shape and Sensitivity

The Distillery District in Toronto is a fascinating historical area. It is home to art galleries, restaurants, the Soulpepper Theatre and boutiques - all housed in the former Gooderham and Worts Distillery. www.thedistillerydistrict.com/.
A variety of events take place here all year round. That makes it a great place for people watching and sources for painting! It is also a romantic place as you will see from the latest mixed media painting which captures a moment in time at the Distillery. I was attracted to the spontaneity of the couple and the shape their bodies made around each other. I enjoyed the cool shadows cast by the old buildings.I loved the old clock and placed them in front of it to show the timelessness of a young couple in love. Painting figures which tell a human story is an area of increasing interest to me.
