By the same artist who did the Sophia Loren painting several posts ago,
I find this to be a very alluring painting.
Perhaps it’s an image from an Italian film?
Or, is it just made up?
Anyway, I was and still am, drawn in.
Gotta get that reflection in the car. Why else do cars park in front of art?
Sorry, could stop shooting this. I didn’t want to leave.

The Artist:
Okay, I’ve always had crush on Steve McQueen.
I cut this artist some slack, as he painted this on seriously rough stucco wall. Below is the poster the painting is a rendition of. There are many Bullitt posters, but I didn’t see the exact one the artist painted.
You can buy various size repros of the poster, starting at $25.00. However, I saw an original (1968 – mint condition) theatre size poster for sale in the U.K. £4,500.00.
MANY say the car chase in Bullitt is the greatest car chase ever filmed. I agree. It’s real. No CGI! Steve McQueen was credited with the driving during the chase sequence. Actually it was shared with Bud Ekins, one of Hollywood’s best stunt drivers.
The chase kicks in at 3 minutes, but dial it back to the beginning for the full effect of this 10 minute masterpiece.
In 2020, the green Mustang sold at auction for 3.4 million dollars.

I quite like this blue face. 
I found it in a laneway that had been converted into a restaurant’s patio.

The artist: One of those names below. It is from a long wall, and many artists painted on it.
Apologies for certain ill alignments. This art was small and right off the sidewalk.
Look who I found on a wall!
It’s Greta Thunberg, the most famous Gen Z person in the world. In the upper left is the word CURAE. It is Latin for “Take Care”. 
Gen Z has a lot to say, and my long time friend, Elizabeth Gracen is providing them a platform to say it all.
Elizabeth, founder of Flapper Films and Flapper Press says in her introduction to the project, “I would create a platform so that they could upload their own videos to the project. The films would stream on Instagram and a YouTube Channel for those little screens they are all obsessed with.”
Is there a Gen Z person in your family, who has something to say? Then check out The website !
You’ll be hearing more about Flapper Press On both GLAM and Art Gowns in the future. My next Art Gown will be dedicated to Elizabeth, and I am very excited!

Found in a tiny children’s park.
Me, I’m not a kid, but I am dreaming of some sun, so I can shoot the new Art Gown!
What are you dreaming about?

The Artist:
It’s a sweet, imaginative piece in a parking lot.
I mean, here’s Toronto’s cityscape, CN Tower and all, with a parrot and elephants.
… and a BUNNY!
The wall dints in & out.
BEST PART OF THE MURAL IS THE CAT BELOW
Around the final corner is a trapped elk.
At least I caught his reflection.
Not only was he trapped by a car,
… he was imprisoned, which is how I found the painting. I had to find out how to get a better shot of him. That’s when I found the rest!

It’s a rough wall to begin with, and this mini-mural has weathered 7 years .
Found it off Lakeshore Road.
