A street scene can look majestic \u00a0or depressing depending on the light conditions, and different angles of light through the day highlight different details. Don&#8217;t even get me started on how great a row of mixed-purpose buildings look after a sudden burst of sun during the golden hour after a good rainstorm. Compare that to the almost introspective effect of twilight, or the wistfulness of dawn.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3097\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/greynotgrey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DUNDAS-PERSPECTIVE.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3097\" class=\" wp-image-3097   \" title=\"Stewart Jones - DUNDAS PERSPECTIVE\" src=\"http:\/\/greynotgrey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DUNDAS-PERSPECTIVE.jpg\" alt=\"DUNDAS PERSPECTIVE\" width=\"700\" height=\"701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greynotgrey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DUNDAS-PERSPECTIVE.jpg 1596w, https:\/\/greynotgrey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DUNDAS-PERSPECTIVE-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/greynotgrey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DUNDAS-PERSPECTIVE-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greynotgrey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DUNDAS-PERSPECTIVE-1021x1024.jpg 1021w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3097\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stewart Jones &#8211; DUNDAS PERSPECTIVE<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Stewart Jones is currently exhibiting at the \u00a0<a id=\"js_3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Canadian-ART-Collective\/315163831869716\" data-hovercard=\"\/ajax\/hovercard\/page.php?id=315163831869716\">Canadian ART Collective<\/a>\u00a0Exhibition at\u00a0Gallery 129 Ossington\u00a0until November 30.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3098\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/greynotgrey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/SUNRISE_QUEEN-WEST.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3098\" class=\" wp-image-3098  \" title=\"Stewart Jones - SUNRISE - QUEEN WEST\" src=\"http:\/\/greynotgrey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/SUNRISE_QUEEN-WEST.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greynotgrey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/SUNRISE_QUEEN-WEST.jpg 800w, https:\/\/greynotgrey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/SUNRISE_QUEEN-WEST-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/greynotgrey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/SUNRISE_QUEEN-WEST-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3098\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stewart Jones &#8211; SUNRISE &#8211; QUEEN WEST<\/p><\/div>\n<p>You can see a metric heckload more of Jones&#8217;s work on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stewartjonespainting.blogspot.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">his blog<\/a> or keep up to date with works in progress, show information and much more on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Stewart-Jones-Painting\/246504538396\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">his Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While perusing Canadian Art Junkie\u00a0 I lucked out by finding out about Stewart Jones.
