This watercolor painting captures the layered essence of Toronto’s urban fabric — a sweeping view from a mid-rise apartment overlooking Spadina’s bustling market corridor. The composition unfolds like a visual gradient of architecture: from the colorful Victorian rooftops and narrow laneways of Kensington Market in the foreground, through the warm hues of autumn trees nestled between brick mid-rises, to the sleek glass towers and iconic CN Tower anchoring the skyline. Each architectural stratum tells a story of coexistence — of heritage and modernity, intimacy and scale — brought together under a sky that mirrors the city’s ever-evolving rhythm.
