Umbrellas on King Street

12 x 12 oil on canvas

I take hundreds of photos on rainy and snowy days. Sometimes a really fun image shows up, and that was the case with this photo. Umbrellas are mostly black and boring so this scene provided a nice change. I often change things in my paintings and rarely paint the photo as is, but in this instance very little change was needed.

Decisions, Yonge Street Tattoo

12 x 12 oil on canvas

I really like this vignette of three young people in front of Yonge Street Tattoo. One wonders what is being said, what decisions are being made. 

Thanks to Ben Roffelsen for the photo reference.
