you choose


YOU CHOOSE
30 x 30
A week in Southern Ontario driving through the rolling hills and long flats speckled with little and big lakes - we saw 9 different universities for our son to potentially choose from and found some amazing restaurants to try in each town.  We have priorities after all!

And priorities guide artists toward subject matter - the camera is guided to focus upon and the finger is beckoned to click to capture the choice - reasons for can be specific or unknown at the time.  In You Choose I depict the freedom of choice, the largest circle choosing my subject as though it's my camera lens deciding where to click.

Speaking of amazing restaurants, when in downtown Toronto, try The Gabaradine on 372 Bay Street, www.thegabardine.com, for some casual dining comfort food while on the road - the Ploughman's lunch, smoked trout salad, mac and cheese and black cod were fabulous..... Not all for me alone - we shared!!!
