Robert Library, University of Toronto.

 
On Sunday, the Toronto Urban Sketchers (TOUSK) went out sketching at Robarts Library. This University building is a very interesting structure. In fact, there is a constant discussion amongst Torontonians on whether it's shaped like a turkey, a peacock or a turtle! So, we planned to draw it. Unfortunately very cold weather drove us inside. Well, maybe not 'unfortunately' since I managed to do these sketches. 
Students didn't mind/notice and I don't think there is enough of a resemblance to anyone to cause offence. ; )
I'm one of the TOUSK correspondents. Check out our blog! - here

in bloom

$50 - 5x7"painting with 8x10"mat.
The beautiful Cherry Blossom trees, called Sakuras, are only in bloom for two weeks. This lovely row is behind the University of Toronto library, and there are more in High Park and at the Toronto Island. Lots more to paint!
