There’s a place in Toronto that I love to visit. It’s home to various local wildlife and is a waypoint for migratory birds. The trees are densely packed and the light that bounces off their leaves casts a kaleidoscope of shadows on the forest floor. As I look north, south, east and west, it is here that I feel grounded, deep in thought and entranced by the sunlight. This work is part of "The View From Here", a growing series of paintings which depicts the surrounding scenes viewed from some of my favourite spots inside Marie Curtis Park.
