New exhibit at Main Street Inn Art aficionados came from far and wide to attend the opening of Doug Workman's very first art show on April 11. A Personal Perception of People and Places, which runs until May 29 at Main Street Inn (126 Main St. S., Georgetown), includes dozens of giclée prints based on photos taken during Workman's international travels. He takes his photos and works with various computer programs to enhance certain elements with varying effects. "The original photograph is my sketch and the computer is my palette and paintbrush," says Workman, a professional photographer. "My work is not a record, but an artistic interpretation of the people and places I have met and seen." For more information, call 416-321-9595. Photo by Andrea Lefebvre
