Kingsway Royal 1

On June 14, 2018 By ResaIn Murals, Underpasses31 Comments

It’s a nostalgic mural of the Kingsway Royal York area, in an underpass.

Let me back up to the beginning. It starts with a park.

This mural is not quite 3 years old, and already the rain run-off has left its marks.

The park is at the entrance to the tunnel.

When we enter the tunnel, there is a street with a theater,

…a bakery…

… a bank & couple other businesses.

The rest of this side of the underpasses mural is after the planter, for the next post.

Here’s another painted truss from Underpass Park.

The fact that it’s B & W highlights the effect of the sun from different positions in the underpass.

This one is painted on all 4 sides.

Even the underside is painted.

It was sunny last Sunday. It’s been mostly all grey since, again.

It’s been the darkest winter + spring = ever!

It makes a blue and dizzy feeling.

Just trying to put a light hearted spin on it.

Found this in Underpass Park.
