Optimist vs Ulster St.

I was in Kitchener for a conference a week ago.  Although I have been to Kitchener many times before, this is only my first time visiting Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery (KWAG), thanks to its current exhibitions that drew me there.  I'll have separate posts on those exhibitions later.

Currently at KWAG, Takao Tanabe's Optimist:
