Since the pandemic began, home has been a refuge for Karin McLean as portrayed in ‘Waiting’. “I found comfort being safely burrowed in my house. But there also was a sense of longing, that time stood still until I could be reunited with everyone again.” #ArtConnectsTO #Toronto
The news about the rapid spread of Omicron is unsettling, especially so close to the holidays. ‘Unwavering’ by Cindy Lam captures the resilience we’ll need for the challenging weeks ahead. #ArtConnectsTO #Toronto #Art #Covid19
We end the week by welcoming a new artist to #ArtConnectsTO! Cindy Lam has found herself drawn to landscape paintings during the pandemic. ‘Changing Winds’ is one of those paintings. “Art has helped ground me, given me time to appreciate all the people in my life.”
Our furry friends have provided great comfort throughout COVID and, for Wencke Gutierrez, inspiration to paint.“During the pandemic it’s been a joy to see so many dogs running around the park. I couldn’t resist painting Monty, our new pup.” Good boy! #ArtConnectsTO #Toronto
A record 190,000 people were vaccinated in Ontario yesterday. Thanks to the health care workers who made it possible! We can’t send everyone a bouquet but we can share this beautiful floral by Adele Steinberg. #ArtConnectsTO #Toronto #Art #Covid19
Throughout the pandemic, artist Maddy Greenwald has been painting the places she would like to visit once more. “Moraine Lake” in Banff is one of them. “These times will pass and we will be able to explore our world again.” #ArtConnectsTO #Toronto #COVID19
Take a stroll down Ghazaleh Nadi’s “Colourful Road”. Breathe deeply. Enjoy the crisp air & autumn beauty. And have a great weekend! #ArtConnectsTO #Toronto #Art #COVID19
Businesses may be reopening & the streets are busier, but the pandemic continues to isolate us from what life used to be. Grethe Jensen’s “Home Alone 2” tells that story. #ArtConnectsTO #Toronto #Art #Covid19 #RegentParkArts
This charming watercolour by Wendy Bannerman is a tribute to shaggy pandemic hair. “It’s an homage to how women have been feeling about the lack of hair cuts!” #ArtConnectsTO #Toronto #Art #Covid19
We love these summer blooms by watercolourist Uta Sodtke! Fresh, loose & so colourful. #ArtConnectsTO #Toronto #Art #Covid19
