Today we spend most of the day at the OCAD library. I found a few interesting books about cultural landscapes and landcape theory. One great find was an exhibition catalogue or rather a book that accompanied an exhibit that was at the Musee des Beaux Arts last year. The theme was nature representation and was devided into 4 main themes; the divine in nature, man and nature, man VS nature, and reconsiliation.
After lunch I headed to the Art Square cafe, which boasts a Frank Gehry tea and crepe. The crepes did look and smell delish. Then I went to one of the many art supply stores in the area, this one called Aboveground. It so hard not to buy anything. But truth be told I don't have the desire to sketch in Toronto. Photography ... maybe. But not sketch. I don't know if its the scale of the city or what but I have not yet found a corner that invites sketching. I will keep looking and maybe try not to be so biased. Anyway, anything I could possibly want to use, they have at this store, so should the desire arise ... its there. I should probably try to find my own art supplies first anyway, I had tons of old sketchbooks I never used.
Its supposed to thundershower tomorow, so I'm not sure what I'll do. Maybe start off the day at the library again. Then I'm meeting Melisa after work for a study date.
