Title: Upper Canada College at Night
Medium: Acrylic
Size: 20″x24″
Artist: Patricia Vicari
Year: 2010
About the painting: I painted this as part of my ongoing project of painting Toronto scenes. I pass this site almost every day and find it vaguely disturbing, as the College itself is vaguely disturbing to me.
About the artist: I have studied painting for many years, at the Toronto School of Art, the Haliburton School of the Arts and with various teachers. I am a member of the Toronto Watercolour Society, the Don Valley Art Club, the Forest Hill Art Club, the Artists’ Workshop, and have participated in many group shows. I have also exhibited in several solo shows.

Title: Sombre Light at the Brick Works
Medium: Oil on Wood Panel
Size: 36″ x 48″
Artist: Charles Wakefield
Year: 2010
Artist’s Statement: I started painting a series on the Don Valley Brick Works a few years ago to document the changes which were taking place in this historic site in Toronto. While most of my works are Plein Air paintings, this one is a studio piece, based on photographs that I take on my many walks through the walking trails in the old quarry. I chose to make this painting almost monochromatic to capture the moodiness of the scene. It was an overcast day, with low clouds, the city-scape barely poking through the clouds. The reflections of the buildings in the pond were marred by the slightest ripples indicating a breeze. The sun was bravely shining, behind the clouds, in a vain attempt to burn off the heavy mist, and cast its light on the glassy pond.

The massive Danforth Bridge always captivated me. My first painting of it, a full size watercolour, bought by The City of Toronto, was of the bridge before the protection at the top, which may be very convenient, but ugly. Its real name is the Prince Edward Viaduct System, or more commonly know as The Viaduct, and it was completed in 1918.

About the painting: I found this an eloquent juxtaposition of the very ancient, and pagan religious monument and an eighteenth-century Christian church.

This is another view of this area of Jarvis and King which appeals me a lot because for its 19th century buildings and modern Toronto.This full size watercolour is called “St. Lawrence Hall at Jarvis and King, Toronto”. The St. Lawrence Hall was built in 1850 to serve as the City’s public meeting place. Today it is the facility of choice for the film industry, TV series and music videos.
