Summer, bar none , is my favourite time of year, I am a Leo. The days are long, carefree , and relaxed, with maybe just a hint of melancholy and whimsy.

In my own collection, I am usually drawn to painting and sculpture with vivid colours, texture and text. It inspires me and energizes me to live among and with my art . The following artists in the upcoming Toronto Outdoor Art Fair depict just that in the lazy hazy days of summer.
