Corkin Gallery sign on green door

Thank-you to the Corkin Gallery for letting a group of us take photos in their gallery. The Corkin Gallery is located in a renovated tank house in the Distillery District and some of the old architectural features of the original building remain.

Large red heart on the upper level of the gallery.

It looks like a stove top! Detail of a painting.

Modern art on old brick.

Detail of painting. Unfortunately I didn’t make note of the names of the artists or the titles of the paintings – lesson learned.

The face we put out towards the world.  Again, another fascination of mine.

Neat and tidy, welcoming doors….

Appliances by the door. This is actually a store on Queen St. West, not someone’s house
