Yonge Street, 1771

Yonge Street, 1771

This painting was commissioned in 1970 by the German Historical Society, showing German farming Immigrants building for Governor Simcoe Toronto’s Yonge Street to commemorate the 200th anniversary. As a historical, representational theme, this work was like a visual essay, that required much research. In the execution, I had to rely on my formal (classic) training, which I did not practice during the previous twenty years.   (SOLD)
