PAINTINGS
Jim Weller

The University of Toronto School of Architecture insisted that I draw, sketch and design on a daily basis. Five years of this as well as courses on colour theory constituted my boot camp training in the visual arts. This was reinforced by an annual two week sketch camp in the fall. While I was at the University of Toronto I was also the cartoonist for the student paper, The Varsity.
By 1985, the demands of my professional career and family had eased sufficiently for me to be able to take up painting in a more serious manner. I embarked on
the path of transparent water colour- a medium that has enormous personal
appeal because of its spontaneity and difficulty. Since then, I have also taken
up oils and acrylics.
