Just Desserts, Yonge & Wellesley, July – September 2004, Toronto CAN

Starting July 12, 2004 my latest body of works will be on display till mid September at Just Desserts in the Yonge & Wellesley area in Toronto, Canada.
My continuing personal theme for these works are the “abstracted landscapes” which builds on the influences of specific Impressionists such as Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso and Expressionist artist Matisse. These works and other works will be added to the web galleries near the end of the exhibit, but if you’re in the area I encourage you to stop by enjoy a cup of java and take in the scenery!

For those of you who are not local, here’s a sneak peek: photo1, photo2, photo3, photo4, photo5.
