I'm an artist and photographer living in downtown Toronto. On this channel I'll be reviewing art supplies, talking about watercolour and other painting techniques. I have demonstrations of me painting, discussing art books, doing sketchbook tours and talking about my love for urban sketching. I'm in one of my happy places when I'm in the studio or sketching and photographing while on the go.

Spring-Summer Sketchbook Tour 2024
I'm finally getting around to show you my Spring/Summer handmade sketchbook. Well March until July when I finished it. Where did the summer go?
Make yourself a tea and sit back and wait for Finn the kitten (who turned 1 last month!) makes an appearance.
Some things I mentioned in this video...
I like following @landscapeartclub on Instagram and each week they have prompts. This is so handy for when you just want to create but are stuck for inspiration.
Along the same lines but live are the first Thursday of every month World Street view meetups hosted by Jenny Adam and Eleanor Doughty. Check out the latter's link here to sign up

A Mini Summer Art Haul from Jackson's
Просмотров 26214 дней назад
I picked up a few things from Jackson's this summer. I wanted to add to my urban sketching gouache palette. The one Daniel Smith gouache that I have has stayed pretty stable (not cracking) so I picked up Payne's Grey and Moonglow. These are very similar, yes, but different enough and I like them for mixing and shadows. I also picked up some white Neo Color I crayons as my local art supply store...
Chicago sketchbook tour

This is part 3 of my Chicago Urban Sketching videos (the sketchbook will be the last so stay tuned!). In order not to make my last video going over what the swag bag contained extra long, I've broken it up. Now I'm swatching out all the goodies. Sorry there's no video to show me making something. Video editing takes a lot of time and that means less time for making art! Just a recap: Urban Sket...

What did I get from the goody bag during the Urban Sketchers Chicago symposium? Well it's all here plus a few things from Blick. I'll have a separate video where I swatch them out so as not to make for an extra long video and keep you on the edge of your seats, I'm sure. If you are wanting to sketch in public but feel nervous or want to meet other fellow sketchers then check out Urban Sketchers...
Chicago Urban Sketchers Symposium 2024
Просмотров 587Месяц назад
Back in March this year (2024) I didn't know how much I would need a city break and art weekend when I registered for the Urban Sketchers Chicago Chapter's symposium weekend. I'm so glad I did. It was a great welcomed break that I needed after some bad months. Everyone was so welcoming. There was only me from Toronto taking the workshops. A couple from the Toronto chapter were there as well but...
Reorganizing my Gansai Watercolour
Просмотров 711Месяц назад
My dad gave me this old printer's drawer for my studio (he was so happy that I wanted it). I thought it was actually smaller than it is. This has huge deep drawers and I thought how perfect it would be to have my gansai watercolour all together and arranged by colour. It would make it so much easier than having them strewn about in their set boxes and I have the space to have them out here too ...
Stone Paper Sketchbook Tour - Spring
Просмотров 2422 месяца назад
I just loved working with the stone paper from Aboveground Art Supplies (thanks Ann for the heads-up on this). It's cheap and coloured pencils work like a dream on this mineral, smooth paper. They look like velvet. I started this sketchbook at the time my mom went into hospital. She's doing better now. I certainly didn't have a lot of time or energy to be sketching, though. Mentioned in video: ...

I've been working on adding new things to my website for months. I want to help other artists find information be that about art books, art stores, colour charts of things that I have swatched etc. If you haven't checked it out in a while there's new information you might find useful. I have recently added some new pages like "Artist that I follow" on Instagram and have maybe done an online cou...
Let's talk Travel Brushes for Watercolour
Просмотров 1663 месяца назад
I have accumulated many travel brushes now as when you are out urban sketching you sometimes think "I wish I had (insert brush type here)" and then make a note of it and seek it out. However, the best brush is always the one you have with you. And don't forget the support, paint etc. (I have done this like forget my sketchbook or paints). I am not an affiliate of Rosemary and Co. or sponsored i...

Lukas watercolour 160th Anniversary Palette
These are great pencils for hair, fur, and fine details. Devastated that Derwent doesn't offer the full 120 open stock anywhere anymore. Especially not even the 120 tin for Derwent Artist. These pencils are wonderful for artists that sell "prints" of their works. Very Sad the price point is now so HIGH to get the full range in a wooden box that would Never be used. HUGE Tragic Decision on Derwent's part!!! 😭😡
They are great pencils. I hate when they don't do open stock on things. In Toronto I can't find a shop that offers the Caran d'Ache Luminance pencils open stock. I definitely can't afford to get a full set of those!
@@eileenreillyarts1229 unfortunately I can only stock my Luminance pencils when Blick's or Cult pens or Hyatts has a sale for open stock. Although, when the full 100 sets go on sale at these stores sometimes the full set is a better price.... Blick sometimes has bulk buy for pencils but it's tricky... unless it says mix/match they may or may not give the bulk price unless it's 12 of the exact same color.... Best of luck honey.
Please don’t put yourself down like that by saying “ like I’m some kind of Saint”, I recently lost my father and I looked after him and although he wasn’t very unwell but had mobility issues. It was my privilege. However there are a lot of people out there that don’t have any relationship with their parents or will even look after them if they’re unwell. I think it is a beautiful thing that you looked after your mum and it is very taxing, emotionally and physically. No one is accusing you of being a saint, but being a wonderful daughter you’re definitely guilty as charged. Sometimes it’s okay to take a compliment. It was my privilege and honour to look after my father after he had looked after me for so long.
Thank you so much for that. You don't know what that means. I'm so sorry about your dad. I'm so glad you both had each other. I have two older brothers and you're right there are people out there who wouldn't look after their parents because I have one and the other was very much not wanting to admit to the seriousness of the situation and so hasn't talked to me since. He prefers to live in a bubble. He at least calls them once a week and visits them every couple of weeks. I've scaled back to calling only once a day. It was getting tiring and I couldn't even remember to do things for myself like ordering my own meds or making an appointment.
Thank you so much for sharing your sketchbook with us. I love your art style. It is fun and has a charming illustrative quality to it.
Aww thank you so much!
Thanks for you "SHOW OFF" of grate samples. I am not familiar with the paint brush cleaner. Meaning I normally use soap and water, and not sure if there is something, better. WHAT I DO KNOW, and you may want to get, what I use often even when I did in acrylic on a canvas to remove something I did not like, also use it when I get paint on clothes, or just grease when cooking on clothes, RED spray bottle called AWSOME carpet stain remover, still sold at dollar tree. I have spent GOOD money to clean sofa, chairs and carpet, but this does it for me, NO Lighten in colors, if clothes been Washed before, and never turn water when washing pink, red, or black. SOME clothes , not sure why will bleed when washed. We use to have nice art stores, but DICK BLICK hardly has anything, Charge a lot for mechanical pencils sold cheaper at Walmart. WICONSIN WILDLIFE ARTIST, MET ROBERT BATEMAN before he was Famous, at the very park he ended up donating to Toronto . He liked my work , but life was put on hold after all my art supplies, paintings , sketch books stolen , so am starting over in senior years
I'm so sorry that happened to you with your art supplies! That's awful. I'm glad you have gone back to it. That's great about Robert Bateman. I'll look out for that cleaner. I used to have one that I got with my sofa and it was amazing.
Nice haul!
Lovely “mini” summer haul! I love all the new DS gouache colours they’ve released 😊. Princeton Velvetouch line is one of my favourite brushes, it’s the perfect amount of stiffness/firmness for me.
I do love those brushes. I love the feel of them too. I tried a couple of more non-DS gouache and they cracked and crumbled again so I may be making a few more purchases...
@@eileenreillyarts1229 I have quite a few DS gouache colours in my dried gouache palette and they do seem to be less crumbly than other brands (although a couple of pigments seem to crack more regardless of brand). I find I use my gouache so much more now that I have colours in pans and ready to go; having to dig out the tubes every single time I wanted to paint, made me reach for my watercolour instead because it was so much easier.
@@FaithAnnNB yes different pigments react differently. I may get a few more greens from them. I do use them more this way. I knew when I got the Holbein cake set that I would use them more if in a palette.
Love sketchbook tours. I would love to do an urban sketchers event some time...Anyway thankless for sharing much love
Always keep an eye out for events in your city. You never know and the general urban sketchers meetups are free.
I'm so glad you posted this video! I didn't even see it until now... Thank you so much for swatching out all the supplies, I was really interested in seeing them. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Much love ❤️
Thank you so much!!😀
Nice haul!!! I also make handmade watercolor paint, and anytime I have an earth color (that is notorious for being light valued or hard(er) to rewet) I add a little extra humectant to the binder..to help with rewetting. Anyway, great video. Thanks for sharing. Much love❤
That's a great idea!
Really enjoyed this sketchbook tour. Would love it if you mentioned materials you used or particular colours. Eg. that amazing vibrant blue. Wow. What is that?
I definitely won't remember all the materials (some days I cannot remember what I went into the next room for). If you mean the blue for the final airplane sketch I think it's Sennelier Blue Indanthrone
Wow!
Echoing the previous comments. Also learned from the video that there is a kind of network it seems? I’ll have to check that out! You’ve really given a great overview of this event. Thanks for sharing!
Yes it's worldwide so there should be one near you. Or always check in with one if you're travelling to see if they have a meetup when you're there.
the camera was like, nope im done, see ya and now i want swedish fish, havent had them for years
😂I have no clue why the camera does that. If anyone knows please comment below! Swedish fish are the best. I still have a few left. I've been rationing them.
I have that short Casaneo brush. It’s unique, but I’m not a fan of the bristles; they are soft, but very, very snappy.
Yes they are quite different to my other flats. Going to keep it in my pencase as it fits in there so well.
Nice Etchr pin 🙂.
It's really cute. I always worry about putting pins on something and losing them.
What an amazing goodie bag! I had the same experience when I went to Blick, the items I wanted were “online only”; I found some other things to buy but was disappointed I couldn’t get any of the items on my list. I’m in NB and saw Swedish Fish in the tiny packs of Halloween candies at one of the grocery stores here (the box had mini bags of Swedish fish, berries, fuzzy peaches and sour patch kids (maybe?)… my son’s fave candy selection so I noticed 😅). Glad you were able to get home early without flight delays!!
😂I cannot find them in Ontario and they are usually made in Hamilton. I like that they are super gooey like the berries. I used to eat those sour rings all the time not the sour patch kids. In fact got told off by a math teacher in the hallway once to go into the other building with the cafeteria to eat one. Yeah it was too bad about Blick. I wanted to get those Tim Holtz distress inks or at least look at the selection but online only. That's fine. My wallet was happy I didn't.
Such a fun video!!! Thanks for sharing. Some unsolicited requests coming-->please i think it would be amazing if you made a video of you swatching all the products I'm this video that you received in your goody bag (and at Blick) and then at the end of the video you make an art piece using only the products from the goody bag and Blick. --> Sorry, just a suggestion. I apologize. Anyway, great video, so much fun. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
Thanks and for the suggestions. I do have a swatching video coming as noted at the end. I was afraid of making the video too long and it also gives me a bit of a bank of videos for when things get busy. There are so many products that I don't think I could use all of them in a video but I will keep that in mind for next time. thanks again!
Looks like a great time! Very insightful video, thank you so much for sharing! 😊
Can't wait for the sketchbook tour and the goody bag haul video!! Lovely video. Thanks for sharing ❤
thank you so much!
I’m gonna take a guess that you’re from TORONTO !! The distillery district piece gave it away! Love your work!
Thank you! Yes, I'm in Toronto and I live near the Distillery so it crops up a lot.
Hi! Thanks for you video I do all the connections but tablet still doesn’t work showing me the tablet in my computer but is freezing. Don’t do anything. I will appreciate your help
I honestly haven't had time to even use the tablet. You should really reach out to the company for support or possibly the company for your computer.
The building has a lot of character. I could definitely see creating at that pace, especially after you have a chance to hang some art. I haven't seen anything like this in my area. If I could afford something like this, I'd do it, but as a hobby, I can't justify the cost of a rented studio.
Yes I wouldn't be able to afford a regular studio without this set up and I am so thankful for it. It is a quirky building with so much light. My little niche is getting more and more lived it with art up on the wall and paintings drying on shelves. I'll have to do an update soon.
Filling these pans outside of the palette, leaving them to dry and the put them in is much easier.
I liked that they didn't shift around by being in the palette, plus doing it while filming creates its own issues. And my kitten can't be trusted. He's learned how to open my drawers where I used to keep things drying.
I have this same pencil case and was trying to figure out how to fit all my coloured pencils in for my sketching. I saw what you did, and now I’ve been able to combine everything into one case instead of having a separate case for the coloured pencils 🎉
I love just having the one case and you really can pack so much in! So glad you are enjoying it.
Oh this video inspired me to do the same! I have way too many gansai paints spread around in small, medium and large boxes and I just end up not using them that much because of that. I got a wooden box which hopefully will store all my collection with the help of some DIY trays, we will see. And your website is extremely helpful! I was just consulting it to check all the art shops in Toronto since I’ll be there for a few days next month. Exciting! Thanks for sharing 🤗
Oh wonderful. I hope it works out for you. I think I will be using my gansai a lot more since I won't be hunting around for them and have them where I can see them. So glad you checked out the website. Just a note that Gwartzman's is closed for renovation but they have a pop-up at Creeds at 450 Dupont. They're also having different events like costumed figure drawing so you might be in luck with that. Hope you have a wonderful trip!
@@eileenreillyarts1229 thank you for the info! I was a bit disappointed to see they were closed, so may check the pop out shop!
On esty they have special pans palettes that will fit the pan size of these odd sizes watercolor pans.enjoyed video thank you for showing us your organization style, the cabinet is awesome was your dad in the newspaper business?🎨🖌🗄📒💙🇺🇲🇨🇦
He was actually a manager of a warehouse for a clothing distribution centre but he always seemed to know about these places. He once got me a decommissioned parking meter in Etobicoke for Christmas. I definitely couldn't guess that present.
Enjoyed sketchbook tour, thank you for sharing and talking about this variety of sketchbook, sending your family blessings of healing compassion kindness empathy. 💙🇺🇲🇨🇦📒🖊🖌🎨
Sending blessings of peace compassion and empath for you, im glad you have a safe place where you can just breathe and create and just let your creative mind have its down time and create. Plus the walking will help with getting your mind to relax from all your thoughts of what you need to do to take care of others.💙🇺🇲🇨🇦📒🖊🖌🎨
You said it perfectly! Yes, it is my safe place. I haven't been in a week because I was away and I can't wait to go there today. Just waiting for a break in the rain to get there 😀
Enjoyed video found it really interesting and informative I've been learning about alot of historical paintings have alot of hidden messages in them and I really find that interesting it's like they are telling a story within a story📚🖌🎨🖊📒
Yes we studied that a lot in university. It was like working out a puzzle.
Disagree with your comment regarding the barrels not all being “smooth” as a sign that the Artists line is of a “lesser quality” than other lines from them. The only thing it shows is poor quality control. The machines responsible for lacquering/finishing the pencils barrels clearly needed maintenance. I recently received my 120 Artists box set and NONE of my pencils barrels had issues. These pencils absolutely need to be sharpened before even swatching to get a true idea of how they lay down. And they need better quality paper than what you used. It’s actually not a sign of bad/lesser quality if a pencil doesn’t work well on any surface one chooses. It’s like people thinking if a colored pencil doesn’t color great in an Amazon paper coloring book that it’s a reflection of the pencils….which couldn’t be further from the truth. ❤
Yes, however I was using good cartridge paper meant for coloured pencil and right out of the box other brands or lines (like Derwent's own Chromaflow or Lightfast) have been better. Just my opinion
You said that stone paper was similar to Yupo in that it stays wet for long. Do watercolours wipe, off easily as with Yupo? I heard that painting watercolours on Yupo is very challenging because of that.
You said that stone paper was similar to Yupo in that it stays wet for long. Do watercolours wipe off easily as with Yupo? I heard that painting watercolours on Yupo is very challenging because of that.
It is sort of similar but because Yupo is polypropylene it is more "slippery" to deal with. I just tested both out together with the same amount of watercolour and the Yupo took longer to dry. The stone paper being a mineral will allow for some absorption. It also looks less"streaky". On the Yupo you will probably see the brush marks or the way the watercolour has dried. And of course this is just a spot of colour and not a painting where you will probably have colours going on top of each other and so that can create challenges. I think I prefer the stone paper but then I haven't been using much watercolour in these sketchbooks. I like to use something that is watersoluble if I do instead like Neocolor or tempera sticks.
Lovely tour. Inspiring me to get back to my stone paper sketchbook. I agree that pencil crayons work beautifully on this. A staff member at above ground told me that inks work well. I’m going to try it.
@@eileenreillyarts1229 Thanks so much for that detailed reply 🙂. The reason I asked is I’m looking for a waterproof paper that I can use as a mixing surface for watercolours and that won’t stain. Yupo seems to be the current front runner, but I read that it yellows with time. Disposable paper palettes is another but I am not sure how durable they are.
@@awatercolourist Yes I've heard that too about the yellowing. I think that would be more likely if things were exposed to light for long periods of time. I would think disposable palettes would be even worse over time but I don't know of any testing that has been done on them as they are meant to be disposable. I'm looking into waterproof tissue although that wouldn't be opaque. You would have to mount it to a backing. I have some on order so I will test that here at some point.
@@anntiniacoudis5691 Yes and maybe alcohol inks. I haven't gone that road as I don't want to start collecting them as well. Thank you for telling me about these great sketchbooks!!!
Thanks for sharing this sketchbook. Best wishes for your mum!
Can't wait for the video❤
I really like reviews of art books and agree that library books are a great way to peruse books before purchasing. My library is smaller so I like that in Ontario we can do inter library loans from anywhere in the province. It means that I can access library books somewhere like Toronto, etc by just asking my librarian to request them for me absolutely free. I have been enjoying watercolour books from Thomas Szabo, Geoff Kersey, Terry Harrison and Gordon MacKenzie. My all time favourite watercolour book is The Complete Watercolorist’s Essential Notebook by Gordon MacKenzie. The first part of the book covers the basics and how to put together a composition. The second part of the book is everything you will ever need to know about landscapes in depth.
Thank you for the suggestions! Libraries are wonderful and should be treasured and open for all and they do so much beyond books. I love interlibrary loans. I remember doing that at university too because even with huge collections like TPL or UofT, they don't have everything.
I love travel brushes… great video!! I’ve been wanting to try the Rosemary & Co, but so hard to get in Canada (without duties/fees). I have a set of Tintoretto and love them. I especially like that the cases/handles are black and not as reflective as the silver. I also love my Escoda Prado travel brushes. I like brushes with firmer bristles. I have the Princeton Neptune travel brushes, but they’re too soft for me, so I keep them in a travel kit that I don’t use as often. All of my travel brushes are round and I’d like to pick up a flat or filbert brush (or two) for gouache.
Yes, there's something about the black and slim case for the Tintoretto that I love. I wish more stores would sell the Rosemary and Co. brushes here but I think there are issues with the shipping and wholesale cost to the deal. I don't have any filbert travel brushes. Now I must research that! 😂
You have a nice selection of travel brushes. I have one Tintoretto size 6 which I used once, closed it into the handle and can’t get it to reopen. I also have the black Escoda set of 3 travel and the red Escoda set of 3 which have various types & sizes of travel brushes. I highly recommend them but I just saw them on Jackson’s website and they have increased the price $75 per set since I bought them in 2021. I have two of Jackson’s own brand which I like, are relatively inexpensive and rumoured to be made by Escoda. They even look like Escoda brushes. I am going to look into your flat brushes. Thank you for sharing.
Oh no! That's awful about the Tintoretto! And that's quite a price rise. Now you make me want to check out the Jackson's ones although, as you could see, I don't need any more.😅
@@eileenreillyarts1229 I was looking at Jackson’s website for flat travel brushes and wanted to let you know that Jackson’s own brand of travel brushes have completely changed from what I purchased. They have different line names and now say they’re made in Germany whereas mine say made in Spain. Just thought you should know the current ones are not what I bought last fall.
@@anitaanderson2326 thank you for that! I haven't looked for them at Jackson's for a long time so I wouldn't have noticed myself. I'm trying not to look at Jackson's period as I have enough and it's got expensive to ship.
Thanks!
This was quite helpful, thanks!
I’m glad to hear things are settling down for you with your mom’s illness. I just purchased the 27 new chromoflows from Bromley’s so I guess I also missed one pencil. They must have it away from the others marked as new. This was my first time buying from them but the process was easy and I also had freebies added to my cart. I hope they don’t take too long arriving in Canada and customs doesn’t charge too much. Thank you for talking about them. It’s always nice to have another art supply store on my list.
There are still issues with my mom but at least I am having more of a schedule. I don't know what happened either to the 1 chromaflow! I swear it said 28 items in the basket. Maybe it was out and did a final calculation at the end? It was a seamless process with Bromley's, though. They sent it out so quickly, I didn't get hit by duty and I think I got it in in under 2 weeks.
☺👏🙂
This was such a lovely video to watch. Thank you for making it❤️ I had to laugh at your viridian comment because I am SO with you when it comes to disliking viridian 😂❤️ and like, I know it’s not meant to be used straight out of the pan and it does make absolutely gorgeous mixes but I’m still reluctant to go out of my way to purchase it😂 I’ve ordered this vintage palette and it’s in transit but I know when I get it, it’s going to take me a few months to actually unwrap the pans and use them. Purely because it’s special packaging and it’s difficult for me to use very special things without feeling bad. Thankfully, I always keep a backup pans of my favourite colours so I will use those in the tin for now and when those pans are finished, I’ll muster up the courage to break the seal on the special retro colours😊 and I’ll definitely stick those adorable little labels in my swatch book!🥰 I’m very excited to have such a portable tin and have a slightly more limited choice of colours. I like a bit of a challenge and I find some limitations to be inspiring and I enjoy finding creative ways to work within them😊
Thank you for such a lovely comment and from a non-fan of viridian too! Give me a readymade, natural green any day. It is so difficult unwrapping them when they look so lovely in their tin. That's a great idea about using up what you have and putting them in the palette for now. I also like having a challenge so I like to mix things up and use different palettes. I'm really liking just bringing in odd things for the day to the outside studio. It really helps to focus and maybe try things that I haven't been using.
What a cool option for a studio space, rather than letting the buildings just sit there unused for a period of time. I can definitely see the benefit of having a spot outside your home as well. Even just limiting the supplies and options you have in your ‘out of home’ studio might inspire creativity since you wouldn’t be overwhelmed with all the choices in your home studio. Very exciting development!! ❤ I hope you are seeing improvement in your mom’s condition. You definitely need a little break from the stress of providing care all the time.
It is such a great use of the space and there are so many needing studio spaces. And you're right, I like the challenge of having less media around. Mom is getting better. She still has memory issues and feels overwhelmed by it all but luckily she is getting professional care at home a couple of times a day so that helps.
ありがとうございます! とても参考になりました😊
Haha I can imagine the workers at Derwent brainstorming the colour names, one saying 'That is mango' when other goes 'No, it's more like saffron' and the boss says 'Okay, we call it Saffron Mango and that's the end of discussion'. Other one is the Lincoln green, like 'Hey, my dad use to have car that colour, it was a Lincoln' 😁 I really liked the pineapple, turkish delight and licoln. Thanks for the video! 🥰
I love that! I can't imagine how a committee could decide on those colours as most meetings I've been in find it difficult to even choose where to order lunch from. 😅
I had my suspicions that there was an Aussie expat on the Derwent team when I saw the name ' Bondi Blue ' ...(I always wondered with a tinge of jealousy how people got to be a pencil colour namer )love it lol...and being light is a great travel pencil bonus !
@@FiddlecatLilo I wondered about that too!
Actually all 150 will be open stock. Watch the video by Colour with Claire. She clears it all up. Hopefully they will be available in Canada or Jackson’s soon. Is the shipping from Bromley’s cheaper than Cult Pens? Keep creating 💜💛💙
Oh yay! I couldn't imagine why they wouldn't offer the full set open stock. That's great news. Thank you. Can't wait until they are available here although the art stores I tend to go to in Toronto are so packed as it is I wonder if they will stock another line. I know Aboveground doesn't have them as open stock but does sell the sets with other Derwent pencils available as open stock.
@@eileenreillyarts1229 I’ve only seen the sets at Deserres and they only carry Inktense and Watercolour pencils open stock at the moment.
And yes Bromley's was cheaper. The postage was about the same but the price of the pencils was cheaper per pencil. So for just under same price as it woul've cost with Cult pens I was able to get the wrap, that was more practical for me, and the free erasers plus a discount coupon.
That winsor and newton and saunders watercolor blocks is a crazy deal!!! I would have bought all the blocks they had available bc same paper online for 5x the price....so nuts. What a great deal!!! Fun video, fhanks for sharing. Much love
If there had been more I would've taken it! It was an amazing deal.😄
Love love love this video! Really hope going positively with your mom. Looks like such a great (and inspiring) area you are in!
Yes I'm very fortunate to live in this area. I love it.
@@eileenreillyarts1229 thrilled to see how it supports your work!
Congrats on your new space....I love the shared studios concept and I love the area !!! What a great thing to do with a building awaiting its future. Take care with your mum situ,have been through it many years ago ❤
Aww thank you. Yes I love what Akin is doing. It just makes sense.
LOL - when you said the traffic was horrendous - I didn't get the joke that there is none. LOL I had better be getting coffee to wake up I guess.
No you were right the first time. I meant the traffic blocking the crosswalk - a common occurrence here with Toronto's traffic ranked the worst in North America even above NYC. I tend to walk along King St as they make it less hospitable to drivers because there's a stretch that means cars have to make a turn within a block. Hope you had a lovely coffee.
@@eileenreillyarts1229 Yes, I actually did go get a coffee - it was good. BTW, I like your new studio space.
