Harbourfront

Today was such a beautiful day that I thought I would head down to the Harbourfront. I really like it there! I think I *might* move there. It is so peaceful and fresh!
I brought my camera to show you a couple of pictures. You can click on the pictures to make them big.


See all the condos? Wouldn't it be a nice place to live? Watching the boats sail by...


PLUS there is a HUGE arts and crafts center there! I went in and there are studios of jewelry silversmithing and glass blowing. So cool!


These canoes looked just like a box of crayons :)

It was a bit chilly, so I got inspired to paint this new painting hee hee:



I also painted another oval canvas. This time it is Little Red and baby wolf. He hasn't got his sharp teeth yet :)



Both paintings are up for grabs on ebay

Hugs for now!

    So very cute! I especially love the one where everyone is bundled up. It was also great to see some pictures of your water front! :-) Silke

    Love to see "neighborhood" pics. Toronto is such a great city. I lived on Howland near Bloor and Bathhurst years ago.

    I understand you well. It must be great to live by the water.
    Your paintings are sweet. I love the wolfe- cub but also the kitty with that shawl.
    Very cute.

    Thanks Tascha,
    Funny, I spent the early afternoon looking at your work and feeling inspired. I adore your use of color, and it never fails to perk me up to see your darling little girls and kitties. You are amazing and so prolific! I don't know how you keep it up.

    Oh man, that waterfront looks so appealing. We have an area like that in Tacoma that we could have bought a condo in a few years ago, and now it is out of your price range. I hope you find the perfect place down there. I think it would be so fun to be down there walking every day.

    Tascha!

    I'm so jealous!

    Yes, that would be a great place to live. Save one of those condos for me! LOL

    You're right. Those canoes do look like a box of crayons!

    The two newest paintings look adorable as always. I like the one with the colorful scarf the best.

    Thanks for sharing the photos!

I absolutely love your paintings, your characters,,they are wonderful. I'm so glad I just found you. I also like your sense of whimsey! That's what it's all about!

    Hey Tascha :)
    I used to love going to Harborfront too.. its especially nice on a beautiful sunny summer afternoon. Found a slightly cheaper place though and rented a condo right behind the Okeefe Center on Esplanade. Was walking distance to *everywhere* it seemed (really close to the St Lawrence Market), including Harborfront :) Oddly enough I felt safer there.

    Hope things are good with you! Glad to see its finally spring up there.
