SMASH 2880 Dundas West


SMASH, 2880 Dundas Street West

There I was with a back pack milling around in the store. WORTH A VISIT,see below!

I spied an empty seat on the other side of the road. I thought someone SHould sit in it. It looked quite comfortable.  Perhaps do a study with a paint brush. I happened to have the ingredients in that damn 50lb back pack of mine and i had time on my hands.

It was a blustry day so blobs of water colour blew and reacted in unpredictable ways on the paper.
That didn't stop me! Nor did a film crew that were apparently engaged in a commercial shoot.

Less than 2 hrs later with paint on my face IT was done. I didn't notice a burnt sienna scar like stroke on my face until I got home. I was horrified.

The purpose of this art is to start a conversation

so post below

The Farmhouse tavern


The Farmhouse Tavern, 1627 Dupont St.
The purpose of this art is to start a conversation

inspired after a water colour or 2 in the country I went searching for something urban…This was it...it didn't hurt that they served beer and great food either

I parked myself across the street... Before the Evening crowd arrived at 4.15
A quick sketch followed by splashes of colour encouraged a few curious onlookers to peak. Including Alex , the Chef...no pressure of course

I finished just after 6...painting is thirsty work



excellent food …Sunday late for deals in this otherwise justifiable expensive restaurant
