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.

I love it when your pictures have a narrative. This one definitely does.
