A little late with these since the show is over but here is my booth at the Toronto Outdoor Art fair. The show was incredible as always, even with the really hot weather. Had a few hiccups with things outside of the show , commute between home and the show was 2.5 hours instead of 40 mins due to transit delays and cancelations but thankfully I had a few people give me a ride to the show. :D

Second day Toronto's Union Station got evacuated due to a nearby shooting so trains (how I get home) were delayed a few hours lol getting home at 1am for a 6am wake up.

Anyways that was all the venting that I have. Like I said the show itself ran perfectly fine! I have a few of these left - the framed studies will be up on my Esty shop in a few days but if you want to see the available paintings check out my portfolio and email me. :)

Union Station#9 ,11" x 14" oil on wood. A 2019 oil painting of Union Station, one of the main stations in Ontario Canada during its never ending construction cyles lol. Interestingly since painting this piece they’ve added a new skyscraper in the background and a part of the station in the painting has been demolished and reconstructed.

I can probably repaint this exact composition and have it look like different painting which is one of the things I like about the subject I work with, it changes quite a bit over time.

First paint through of this piece. It's another Wilson station painting and it's only a coincidence that two pieces are the same station lol. (Subway station in Toronto Canada) This first stage is generally to get base colours down and get a general light direction. Drawing errors get fixed in this stage.

Second chalkboard illustration study and line work. This work is a set of chalkboards that are being done at my artist residency at the drake hotel in toronto canada while living in their Artist Loft which is quite nice, in the second photo I am taking advantage of the second floor to get an arial photo of the piece.

The board is about 5 feet x 3.5ish....cant remember the exact size :P

Progress pics of some of my work at the artist in residence at the drake hotel Artist Loft in Toronto Canada. 😁🎉

The study sketches and preliminary line work down on the chalkboard. Having fun with chalk as a medium, a little messy and hard to control but it should have interesting results.

Haven't worked with chalk before so when I was presented with the opportunity I thought it would be a fun challenge and a way to go outside of the medium that I'm comfortable with.

Mount Pleasant #2 2017 Oil on wood. 16" x 20" An early piece of Mount Pleasant station in Ontario Canada. The painting shows the early morning during winter. The station stop is heated during the winter which turns the interior of the stop red.

The set of photos taken of Mount pleasant were taken during the same time period either early morning or late night while I was working overnights and painting during the day (I don't recommend it).

Union Station #8 2018. Oil on Wood 10" x 8" an earlier piece from 2018, generally I use the smaller pieces to test things out and with this one I wanted to see how texture changed the overall painting. I like the texture in the cool sky but I think it was a little too strong in comparison to the rest of the painting.

I think overall I think the painting was succesful and a great learning experience.

“Union Station # 14” 6" x 8", Oil on Wood. For those outside of Canada this painting is based on Union Station in Toronto Ontario which is I think Canada’s largest station. . This piece gave me quite a bit of trouble I ended up leaving it alone for about a week because something felt off at the beginning but I couldn’t figure out what. I did small value sketches and I think I finally fixed it. As always let me know what you think of this piece.😊
