Ice

Yesterday Marcia and I visited the AGO to view the current exhibit.... "The Great Upheaval".


There were paintings by Matisse, Picasso and Modigliani, to name a few, and all were done in an era from 1910 to 1918. 

We were taken through the time period before the First World War, during the war, and after it. The effect was to show the differences in the mood of the artists as they lived through this upheaval in Europe.

I like most of the art work, but have limited patience for being in art galleries.

Afterwards, we retired to a cafe across the street (Espresso Etc). I always have found the houses on this block of Dundas Street to be wondeful examples of some Victorian homes.




The constant freezing and warming over the past few days has created some special ice sculptures that needed to be caught and published.




This, of course, is not on Dundas, but on the corner of Church and Maitland.



Soon the renos will be done, and patio season will be upon us. 
Can't wait!
