Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition - the dash tour!

We had a chance to check out this year's Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition on Saturday.  Mostly, I wanted to visit and say hello to my friends.  I also wanted to check out and hopefully buy something.  As if our little man was going to let us do that!  With baby and grandpa in tow, a casual stroll through the stalls it was not.  The heat did not help as well!

Smaller this year and frankly the same as year's past.  I want to go because I feel I'll miss out, but once I'm there, I feel a bit 'meh'!  I wish I could have checked out the programming that was on offer, that would have been terrific.  I never read or heard if that was successful or not.

All in all, it was a great social!  And, I managed to drink a delicious Americano from Starbucks!  I was so happy to have a quick catch up with my wonderfully talented friends: Nicole Kibath, Jenny Kuri, Tara Gilchrist, and Kal Mansur.

Once our sweet boy fell asleep for a brief nap, we could relax and in fact, were able to buy two small prints from Jacob Rolfe who won an honourable mention in Printmaking!  The water-based inks produced such rich colours!  I'm excited to have such a talented artist added to our small art collection.
