That’s what I thought.

You Put a Spell on Me
You put a spell on me, now I’m the magic on this wall.
When Torch Singer Rene Rosso saw this captivating wall art, she felt the spell’s magic, and has added the mesmerizing Jay Hawkins song, “I Put a Spell on You” to her repertoire.
One of her fave renditions (of the uber many) is by Joss Stone.
Like the music, the art draws one in.
Rene Rosso and her alter ego Princess Blue Holly, are greatly influenced by Holly – House of Heart
Resa would like Rene Rosso to make the poem – black spell night – by Holly into a sultry Torch Song. Resa has designed the perfect gown (above) to go with it.
Click on the poem, and see the original post!

L’Italia
The cat is my fave element of this wall art.
The cat lives in an alley, in a piece of alley art, somewhere in Little Italy.
Sam The Record Man is part of Toronto’s history.
So are the many delicious Italian restaurants that grace our city. As a vegetarian, I’m always guaranteed a yummy meal, at an Italian restaurant. Okay, I’m a pasta junkie, but the ultimate is Fiori di Zucca.
It is zucchini flowers tossed in flour, and flash fried. This is the one I love. Some are stuffed with ricotta & mint or bocconcini & dipped in a batter. There are many variations. A generous squeeze of lemon, on the crispy delights, is a must.

Best Monsters, Ever!
I wouldn’t light a cigarette around this guy!
He just might extinguish you with some kind of fire breath.
He’s totally into the trash! Very tasty.
His pal lives around the corner.
He has bad breath.
It is a phenomenal piece.

Here’s another instalment from the butterfly project in a lane along a kids’ park,

Then come the roses with writing.
A bad old truck was blocking this piece, big time. There were no reflections due the colour of the truck and a hardy coat of dirt. However, the bird is the best part.

In a grubby alley is painted a gorgeous garden.

Not sure how Mike Kennedy passed, but he was young. You’ve seen many of his collaborative projects on this blog. The artists did a wonderful tribute painting to his memory.I will post that in the future.
Perhaps he felt my joy taking these pics, and sent a ray of shine. It’s been very grey and dark since late December.
