Aquarius, Phoenix & Dragon

This 20 meter (65 foot) long mural is on an old apartment building. Located along a very narrow pathway, I found it impossible to capture it in it’s entirety.

Aquarius #1

It starts with a woman bearing water. Beside her is a phoenix. There is then a door that looks like it’s from Tarot Cards. The center section is a puffy abstract followed by a second Tarot door….

…then enter the Dragon!

Aquarius #2

I have made a Slideshow with elements from the mural and placed it between the 2 Tarot Doors.

Winnipeg –  2006 Mural of the Year.

Jill Sellers was kind enough to provide photos of this 92 x 50 ft. mural taken when it was new.

My eye is drawn to smaller detail, of which there is plenty in this stunning mural. So I have kept some of my shots, taken years later when the mural had faded.

145 Market Street – As a clothing designer, this detail is especially pleasing to me.

Although Jill Sellers was the original conceptual artist she needed help to pull this off & insists the amazing artists, who contributed a lot, be duly credited.
