Built in 1921 Art Gallery of St. Albert always is one of my most favorite art gallery in Alberta. A major modernize renovation was done in 2019. Back to 2012 before any renovations, I was live in east side of Edmonton, weekend trip enjoyed travel to St. Albert browsing the old art gallery climbing up the squeaky old stairs and hardwood floor. I remembered how amazed I was to see beautiful local artworks in the loft gallery. Now, I am selling some of my artwork at the shop gallery as well☺️

This old brick-clad lady has been owned by two banks and by many independent owners, including those who turned it into a restaurant. For a time in the 1990s it was owned by Clayworks, and Above the Bank Interiors. The Bridal Shop was located there and so was Midnight Magic lingerie shop. (Credit: St. Albert Gazette)

Thank you Lean, the art director gave me a knowledgeable tour and holding a century timeline board for me.

Sharing the creation footsteps of 1913 Sylvan Lake Stone House Cafe.

In past few weeks, the painting major changes was taken off the garden arbor to stand out the beauty of creeper vines. Personally, I like the iron wrought garden arbor so much but I felt to busy of the right bottom corner.

This full of characteristics stone house was hand built by original owner back to 1913. The recent owner purchased it in 2020 and turns it to a @whitefrogcafecanada coffee house serving local people. One of the owner Ronald was born and raised on the coffee farm in Colombia where the beans are grown.

The 1913 Sylvan Lake Stone House Cafe is 8 of 10 Alberta Old Buildings @albertaoldbuildings series that highlights the strength and transformation of Alberta heritage buildings.
