Sunday Morning
Here is a lovely Albert Franck scene of the back alleys of Toronto. Although this one was painted in 1965, I see exactly the same scene in today's Toronto.
For a northern city, which is associated with drab weather and even drabber colors, these town houses and alleyways exemplify the colorful and haphazard Toronto that is really underneath it all.
Talking of snow, almost all of Franck's paintings are done in the nostalgic light and colors of deep winter.
And, yes, we do get to miss it when it isn't there!
