One Sunday all I had to do for the art show was to pick up a couple small things. The place was only 4.5 km. from home, so I walked.
There and back was only 5.6 miles, a perfect walk on the first nice day in a long time.
It was an odd location, with no visible street art as I walked there.
I took a different route on the way home,
.. and found art.
I also found the artists working on the art.
I spent some time chatting with each artist.
They were generous with their time, and let me take some pics of them working.
It felt good to be back in my street art shoes. It felt like home.

The Artists:
Note: The Art Show is open for another week, but there is someone else babysitting it. Wrap out is the week after. Then I can make a post about it!
Graffiti Lux Art & More 
Isn’t it wonderful to meet up with mural artists, Resa! They have a wonderful way of giving beauty to our streets, towns, and cities!!
Yes, it is a joy to meet the artists who have supplied me with much passion and glee over the years. Painting walls on the streets is a special sharing. Many make no $$. They are lucky to get the paint paid for.
Thanks Rebecca & hugs!
CHEERS to street artists!
The glint of those emerald eyes, these pale blues🌹🐲
I adore the idea of green eyes, but I can’t think of ever having seen green eyes in real life. I calculated that in Canada (41 million) – 400,000 have green eyes. 💚👁️
Beautifully done, so they are not known as Taggers anymore 🙂 Graffiti Artists is so much better. Are these folks from Canada or other countries?
Hey Eunice,
Yes, there are still taggers making a mess.
However, there are also street artists. These 2 are street artists. They paint with permission from building owners, but often don’t get paid.
I do believe both here are from Toronto, Canada. xxx
Wish owners would pay up
Perfect. You not only did you find great art, you found the great artists in the act of creating the great art. Like a great circle of art.
YES!
“And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time” – Joni Mitchell
Or in this case – the carousel of art – xo
I love watching artists at work! The red in these pieces is gorgeous.
Seeing art while walking back from the art show — love it, Resa! Great art indoors and out. 🙂
Good to have you ‘nearly back’, Resa. Looking forward to hearing how the show went xx
Kudos on your art show Resa. I look forward to seeing your post and am glad you’re back scouting art and murals. Great find. 😊
How wonderful you found art and artists! I’m sure they were thrilled to have someone interested in their work and process.
I hope your show is going well. Looking forward to reading more about it! 💙
Love the art and the title.
Beautiful art and photos, Resa.
What a beautiful treat , you have a way of finding the creators wherever they are. Such beautiful street art , I’m looking forward to the art show post. Big hugs to you!

Hi Resa, OK I have officially given up…I have no idea how these artists replicate textures like this. The skin on “Rose Girl” is darn close photorealistic for heaven’s sake. All I can say it’s pure born-with talent.
And so cool to meet the artists too, it must have been a treat.
Thanks to all for sharing.

What a bonus to chat with the artists of this stunning mural!!
