York Library Portraits and landscapes by James Barrowman, Willowdale artist, will be exhibited in the North York Public (Main) Librâ€" ary, 5126 Yonge Street, Willowâ€" dale, from Tuesday, October 2 to Saturday, October 20. Mr. Barrowman, a native of Scotland, has travelled far afield in search of material for his work. â€" However, the locale for the landscapes in this exhibition was closer home and scenes from Southern Ontario and along the St. Lawrence River are deâ€" picted. The portraits, providing an inâ€" teresting contrast to the landâ€" scapes, are mainly character studies in oils. Although most of the work is representational there will be a few abstracts shown. The artist has endeavâ€" oured to avoid specialization and retain the utmost flexibility in his work. The result of this obâ€" jective is a versatile exhibition which should prove to be of much interest.
