A personal art Journey to a not so faraway place

Distillery district
Burrito Boys..oh so yummy fare..I happened upon this little treasure of a restaurant by chance..what a find!
gorgeous blown glass
distillery building.fine architecture!


OCAD grad exhibit..the building has changed substantially from my 70's years there

A weekend visit to Toronto was stimulating and inspirational..It is important to step out of my comfortable little world now and then and explore ..On foot or transit all weekend gave me my experiences up close ..and I felt quite positive about my encounters with people and the youthful creative energy of Queen West and the wonderful art village called the Distillery District..Thanks to an artist friend from Toronto..I was able to partake in her Cafe Society art group..tour distillery galleries and enjoy a yummy meal/and satisfying conversation in the Mill street brewery there with a group of like/art minded people ..The beer was exceptionally good on a sunny afternoon..and the company was warm and envigorating..later an art opening of one of the Cafe artists downtown on Queen West added another layer of experience to the day ..more good chat..and then when the music level climbed higher to ear shattering decibels we bid farewell to the night....

Darling Desboro




















Well I spent a little time meandering (something I tend not to do these days) in Desboro ..I had just finished with my tutoring at Sullivan school..and walked over to the town centre to explore a little while my little car was being made a little safer for me(brakes!) at the local garage ..Peaceful,sleepy and with a perfect crossroads ..I saw beauty in this little town when I paid closer attention to the details..and was on foot ..so had to take in sights slowly..
