And more memories to preserve
Lilacs blooming in front of a Cabbagetown house.
Downtown Toronto looking like small town Ontario.
The building on the left became the center drawing, which evolved naturally into the repeat pattern design on the right.
Now, the building is gone, as are the lilacs, replaced by this monstrosity. I discovered about a year after I took the photo and did the drawing, that the original house was being demolished. I must have had a premonition of things to come, to have invested so much time on the original lovely, grey and black building surrounded by the lilac bushes. I blogged about this destruction, and called my post, "preserving memory".
But, it isn't enough to preserve memories.
