Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Meticulous realism: George Forgie puts some finishing touches on one of his paintings. He uses a pointillist method - a system of tiny dots of paint to build up his images. The North York artist's work is featured in a one-man show at the Charlton West Gallery in Hamilton.
