were duplicated several times making a wonderful sight to see.

of the posters to take home. |

The
success and history of the original painting entitled "My
Honey and Me" also led to Mr. Cherniak undertaking a portrait painting
of Toronto's First Family, Mr. & Mrs Art Eggleton, the Mayor of Toronto
for over 10 years.
That began with a photo shoot, on a beautiful, sunny,
Wednesday,
October 12, 1988, at the new Toronto City Hall where the Mayor and his wife
posed for their portrait to be done. |
