This is from the side of a power box.
This is the side around the corner.
Together they equal this.
I found this Elvis up the road. It’s painted on an opaque plastic, with kind of tiny bubbles in it.
I’m heading over to Art Gowns to work on a Special! I need to focus, so comments are closed.

This portrait of Van Gogh is stationed across the street from the AGO. I immediately thought of Rebecca Budd – Lady Budd.
EEK! It kept staring at me, following me. I walked back and forth, thinking the head was being automatically turned. NOT!!!
Check it out! The video is only 18 seconds.
I also shot stills. I thought Rebecca will love this! She is such an arts aficionado, and I mean ALL arts and artists.
Then I thought of Marina from Art Towards a Happy Day, who is an artist, musician and does wonderful posts about classic artists.
Then serendipity happened! Rebecca interviewed Marina about art in a podcast on Tea Toast and Trivia, on July 19. I found Van Gogh on July 19.
I know you’ll love the podcast. Click on the pic of VG above, and go there!
I started at the other side in the 20 second video below.
Fascinated, I went up close.
Turns out the part of the face that follows is an indented sculpture, with some paint on it.
This is the only shot I have of this size close up, in an attempt to show you what I mean of an innie sculpture. LOL, I accidentally cut off most of VG’s left ear. Honest, I did not crop!

On my way home yesterday, from another successful Street Art adventure, I looked down at the sidewalk, and there was a spirit of Hera. I think it looks like Hera! Hera is Marina’s sweet puppy dog.

Artist is unknown to me at this time.
During a 3 hour drive to get our mail, we cut through Chinatown.
The corner of my right eye caught the splash of colour down a side street.
I knew it was a face, somehow.
There was no time to stop, but I knew I would return!
What a doll!
… and the sweet yellow bird….

No wonder I am smitten by Holly’s poetry! Love this!
I saw a pic and had a rough idea where this was. Still, she wasn’t here, she wasn’t there! She was elusive. It was my last try. Ankle was giving out at hour 2.75.
Above: Taken from up on a fire escape. Below: Taken from the ground. This face is a wonderfully distorted beauty.
She’s guarding a parking lot for a Covid closed tavern. Around the corner is a lot of garbage and rat infested alley. (& I don’t mean rat art… hmm just noticed rat is an anagram of art)
She inspired me to go crazy, shoot her wildly.
Close-up on the ground.

What a hectic presentation! Reminds me of my life right now, living through loud heavy construction. Timothy Price & I did a parody about it. Hopefully keeping a sense of humour about it all will help me get through it!

Frank had me over as a guest collaborator for his Beach Walk Reflection on Creativity. It’s serious and fun all at once. What could be better, or more creative? Check t out!

I like walking on the beach. It’s good for the mind, body, and soul – and refreshing on my feet.
Creativity is a powerful word – so are related words create and creative. These words of similar meaning, but create is the verb, creativity the noun, and creative the adjective – but today I think of these words as a collective.
My first thought is about those creative with their hands – sewists, quilters, crafters, 3-dimensional artists as…

I went on a 4 hour street art walk yesterday.
My bum ankle kicked in at hour 2.5, so I donned my ankle tensor.
Wait ’til you see the Nick Sweetman rat I found at hour 2.25! I think it’s a rat.
Anyway, I was exhausted when I found this stunningly gorgeous planter at hour 3.25. It was so low to the ground, that I sat on a “low rider” step. This way I got a straight on shot.
All the hip people at the coffee window 2 doors down from me, were quite amused. I wear a bottle of hand sanitizer around my neck, so I did a big deal hand sanitizer application for their eyes only.
Their eyes followed me to the opposite side of the planter. I had to capture it, despite oncoming traffic.
I squished myself uncomfortably, between 2 parked cars.
Couldn’t get a dead on, but did my best. Got home, ate and fell asleep. Woke up discombobulated for the day.
