8″X5.5″ Pencil on paper I didn’t really have any time to paint today. I went to Toronto and visited the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario). They have a great collection of Canadian art thanks largely to the bequest from Ken Thomson. I think they must now o… [...] 11″X16″ Watercolour on paper Another of my St Catharines series. Locals will recognize this distinctive building. They are trying to revitalize the downtown area, much like every other city in North America. It would be a shame to lose buildings like… [...] 11″X14″ Oil on canvas This one is a couple of years old. I had an ambition at one time to do a series of local landmarks but I ran out of steam.

The mountain can be… [...] 7″X5.5″ Pencil on paper This is probably the last of the meagre collection of sketches from my trip. I enjoyed taking the train, even though the trip took marginally longer than it would have done by car, mostly just because of the connection in To… [...] 5.5″X7″ Pen & wash on paper The fire escapes and balconies of Montreal play a large part in defining her character. This one, drawn from the inside looking out, leads down to an alley (allée, rouelle?) behind avenue du Parc. [...] 5.5″X3.5″ Watercolour on paper I have always enjoyed painting the backs of houses.
