Original Toronto Star caption: People buy paintings because if feels good to them; says artist Murray McCheyne Stewart; whose showing of outdoor scenes is on display at Hal Johnson's gallery. It has to communicate a message to the viewer or else it will end up in the artist's basement. Canadian landscapes; especially with fall colors; are most popular.
