4th Street in the Heat of Summer
Can't you just feel the heat coming off the pavement? Ricoching between the buildings? 2021 and record heatwaves for our province.
Sometimes this street is really busy and other times it is quiet - that's the way we roll in Calgary, AB. I love the combination of an old church sitting next to a modern glass building, multiple street lights and signs every where. Businesses come and go. This is from the corner of 15ave SW, looking downtown.

This birchwood canvas incorporates acylic, collage and ink. It is covered with a resin. Size is 30"x22". Contact me for pricing. Giclee prints available. 

Unicorn Pegasus Cafe Toronto
I went to Toronto in 2019 for the first time. I know! horrible not to have spent any time in Canada's largest city. I have been to Montreal, but I just flew through Toronto. This time I stayed for a few days and walked dozens of KM through the streets taking photos and sketching for references. 
I loved the city! How humid and green it is. There was quite a bit of rain when I went, but I didn't mind. I loved the humidity. There were so many streets that interested me. This cafe was as neat inside as it was outside. I am not even sure of the name, but there is a big horse with wings and a horn...

Rainy Day Toronto Cable Car
One one of many walks through the streets of Toronto. I am nostalgic for cable cars. While out there, I had heard a rumor that they were going to get rid of the cable cars - I plugged my ears! They were so interesting to ride! You could just jump on and off as you please with the cars riding along side at a bit of a slow speed. It was a chance to stop and sleep the greenery! The rows of houses were all unique and reminded me of dorm homes around the University of Alberta. Beautiful verandas and gardens. 

The words I used in the pic, 'The day the world changed'. We hardly recognize it when our reality shifts and changes, but it is happening all the time. Sometimes it is more drastic, but many of us go about our daily business regardless. I included these words while the heat was breaking temperatures and climate was front of my mind. But it could have also been last year during lockdown. I couldn't help but notice the change!
