Talk of Art, Fangirls and Other Important Matters

I had a very good weekend with meresy and the lovely and amazing eledhwenlin in Toronto over the weekend. It was great to finally meet E, who is very sweet and intelligent and someone with whom I really click. (Unlike, say, Meres, who orders poutine topped with very weird and exotic meats. Not cool, M! :P)

We visited the "new" Art Gallery of Ontario, which has ( Read more... )

Great pictures. When we were on tour, we went to a museum in, I think, Vancouver, that was doing an exhibit about Group of Seven artist(s).

Oh, well. Very cool.

Hmmm, might be! If it was a Group of Seven exhibit, they probably displayed some of Harris' work, and could have thrown in Emily Carr and Thomson as a bonus :-) The Group itself had a pretty distinct style, so you might have picked up on that, too.
