I saw this interesting watercolor/collage painting on canvas at a group show curated by Juan Bacca at Elearnor Harwood Gallery.  The artist is Ivan Bridges.  It was difficult to get a good images since it was a crowded opening. The piece is rather large so I could not get back far enough. Infact, the work is about 5' x 4' and is watercolor and paper collaged on canvas.  There is also some stitching on the piece.

 Erich Fischle talks about his watercolors in this interview with the National Post.
"For 30 years, iconic New York artist Eric Fischl has painted the body as battleground — one that’s often psychological, sometimes visceral and almost always seductive. Now, with some surprising new watercolours showing in Toronto at Barbara Edwards Contemporary gallery, Fischl talks to Leah Sandals about painting, poses and finding (a small measure of) peace."
