So every year for Christmas I go visit the folks. They live in Niagara on the Lake.
This year I went to the Art Gallery of Ontario with my mom. It was a shiny nice new gallery and there was some interesting modern and ancient art. I got to see lots of artist renditions of Quebec 100’s of years ago. I felt vilified because Ken Thompson had all his model boats in glass cases. There’s hope for my action figure collection.
There was of course the obligatory Group of Seven rooms, but to be fair, I found the Lauren Harris room quite soothing. I was also surprised to realize that I missed Emily Carr’s work. It made me homesick for Vancouver.
