Dear all!
Today, our wonderful painting professor, Gary Evans (http://www.paulpetro.com/artists/27-Gary-Evans/CV) organised a trip to Toronto for all us youngling artists on yet another blistering summer *oops I mean Winter....???* day. We assembled at Georgian Collage on an early, foggy morning and I shrieked with glee when I realised what awaited us on our Journey: I was going to ride in a traditional *School Bus*!
The School Bus is an iconic tradition here in North America: everyone rides on the school bus and they basically own the roads (with a few different rules from those in Europe, including the ability to stop traffic periodically on BOTH sides of the road *on coming traffic included*. This is something that continues to petrify me)
When I exclaimed I hadn't been on a school bus before, most people groaned (as a result of their world-weary 'bus riding' days) and I ended up on the 'wheel' seat as part of my initiation. Once in Toronto, we embarked on an epic mission around some of the best Galleries and Museums in town.. here are a couple of the highlights!
It was a fabulous and inspirational day and yet another scorcher ( I was over dressed in winter boats)... this weather is amazing!
