Solid 1st day on this new piece (about 4 hours of a lot of White). Another day of shaping the clouds and I'll move on to the airships. ( I always like to paint from background to foreground, then detail overgrowth)

I Will try and live stream some of the sessions on this one when I can. Only annoying thing with streaming is I'm too focused to interact much which feels like I'm ignoring people.

Cloud base day. I work large and loose to break the ice with a new painting. Then work in more detailed cloud edges with a smaller brush later.... Should I steam a bit of this too later?

The current Union Station opened in downtown Toronto in 1927 and has see multiple major renovations since. Like my last two Canadian landmark surreal landscape (Parliament Hill and Peggy's Cove) this will be a depiction of #unionstation in the near future after humans as a new culture of #visitors rediscover this imposing and powerful building.

Union Station @torontounion in it's third and current form was opened in downtown Toronto in 1927 and has see multiple major renovations since. Like my last two Canadian landmark surreal landscape (Parliament Hill and Peggy's Cove) this will be a depiction of #unionstation in the near future after humans as a new culture of #visitors rediscover this imposing and powerful building.

You'll be able to follow along the progress of this one from start to finish this time. I hope you will all follow along over the winter lockdown.

"Secret Bear Idol" (2020)
30x40x1.5" + white floater frame.
****
Though known globally, the 1980’s Care Bear toys, cartoon shows and movie franchise has a strong Toronto history. The original 1985 Care Bears Movie was created in Toronto by Canadian animation studio Nelvana (their second feature film ever). It is also one of the first feature films based on a toy line. This work adds a modified giant Idol statue being built over the Toronto waterfront in a distant future after humans. Once again being built and explored by odd Visitors. There are a lot of small nods to the franchise and fun details to be found – but I’ll leave that up to you to find.

When you have plans but life gets in the way.... Lot of panels to get to. Between freelance ad work, a day job and home renovations this month has seen very little painting going on. Sorry for the lack of updates. Hope to finish up the latest piece and get focused again by November. (Which will start a 60x40 new Canadian landscape visited by the #Visitors ) which should take me 2 months at least... #toddlawson #contemporarysurrealism #contemporaryart #fineart #galleryartist #galkeryart #landscapes #skyscape #clouds #Canada #canadian #surrealism #popsurrealism #landmarks
