Pictures I've always loved, and always wanted to paint.

Once upon a time I took my camera everywhere: always looking for shots to paint.  This first one (top left) ended up being a miniature watercolor, and made a fine gift.

Photocopy of pencil study, which I gave as a gift.

There are several shots taken that day, which I still want to work with.

I love the architectural details of Toronto's old City Hall, and I loved pushing pencils; some of my best works are pencil studies.
