Not sure why I have been hoarding this.
It’s far too, beautiful not to share.
It’s a very long, skinny and close to the ground piece, so I have to show you the image in 2 pano pics.
Some close ups.

Look at this gorgeous Monarch with 3 Burners.
Nick Sweetman did the Monarch. He even put a crown on it.
This beautiful, yet heart rending poem is written by the fabulous Holly from House of Heart and reproduced here with her permission.
THE MONARCH
From my swing
I spot the Monarch
sipping from a nectary,
gently I snare him
by his dew drenched wings.
I wonder if he knows
his fate lies in my hands.
Clutched between my fingers
imagine how his heart pounds.

19 years ago, there were clouds of Monarchs during migration season. 5 years ago, I did not see even 1 Monarch. So, 4 years ago we planted Milkweed in the back yard. It is the only plant Monarchs lay eggs in.
I’d also heard that they are attracted to their own colours, and colours of the Milkweed. Ours is green and orange. It took until this summer to get the painting organized. I’m pleased to say that I saw about 50- 100 Monarchs this year.
The Burners represent the sky, a sunset and the green earth. By: #tensoe2 #ctr #2hel.

The wall was constantly being tagged. This is what it looked like before the painting.
The best is; since the Burners were painted…not 1 tag!
This is the 3rd Street Art Poetry door Charlie and I have done together, even though we live 2,520 miles away from each other, and have only met in the blogosphere. MAKE ART NOT WAR
I’ll be closing comments, so head to Charlie’s blog to see the entire presentation & comment.
Our 3rd collaboration in ‘Street art poetry’.
Resa’s interpretation of my words ‘Mermaid’.
The color palette and the eye brings out the beauty in a mermaid.
She gives life to the painting and the words speak for themselves.
The eye of the mermaid sees beyond truth and love.
Resa is a rock star and a talented and wonderful human to us all here on WordPress. Her contribution to the arts is phenomenal.
Without further ado our collaboration! Resa is the best and she really did such a beautiful job.
My vinyl eyes
painted
hot orgasm.
The eerie rose
spilled cryptic commas.
I noticed the mermaid is forming a heart around the words.
The Beautiful Mermaid feeling some sun. 🙂
Miss Mermaid is now in the shade staring right at you to read the poem.
Beautiful colors on this door. The colors blossom brightly. 🙂
Resa is an incredible photographer.

You must check out this spectacular post from Inese!!!!! Thank you Waterford Walls!!! AND thank you, Inese!
I was out of town during the Waterford Walls festival this August, and only recently took some photographs, probably covering only a half of the walls. Here is a link to the previous Waterford Walls blog posts if you need it for a reference. Please visit the artists websites. All the links in this blog open on separate pages and your reading won’t be interrupted.
Yasja’sNorthern lights-inspired work wasn’t included in the festival map, but I knew it was a recent work. I would have noticed if it has been there before. Yasja is a brilliant artist from Amsterdam and I choose her work for my opening picture.
I walk wall to wall, and it takes me about two hours to see all these wonderful murals.
Niamh Curry grew up in Clonmel, Ireland. She is a self-taught artist, and her works are recognizable for their bright colors and…

There are white squirrels in Trinity – Bellwoods Park.
Apparently they are not a breed, but more like albino squirrels.
They have created more white squirrels.
Toronto is so proud of these rare beauties …
That we have named a street after them.
I have not seen one, but I don’t have hours to sit quietly, in a Squirrel Zen State, with a bag of peanuts. Although, it’s on my “To do list”.

The Artist:
First things, first! Congratulations to Sath & Johanna!
They have created the most beautiful 👼 Lila 👼!
I’ve always believed Sath would be an amazing father. Much of his art is for kids & he teaches them through interactive art experience.
Two recent pieces Sath has done are collaborations with SIK. Above is Crow-n. I absolutely adore it. Below is a 21 second video of a mural with a big message about “the orangutans, the palm oil industry and the deforestation”
Check out the details of the mural from Sath & Sik!
“about one of the main causes of climate change. The logging and burning of forests by the timber industry, as well as by obtaining soil for agriculture and livestock are razing the lung of the planet and the species that live there.”
Above is ZoOrquesta Decoración” The slide show above is is filled with animal instruments Sath did for a Music School. La Escuela de Música local del @ajsonservera.
Dalmatian 103
“Work done live during the last Nit de l’Art de Son Servera. As always, a real pleasure to paint in a place as magical as the Església Nova and see so many known people.”
What a fab frog! An animal may not be able to change its spots, but Sath can.
“I present to you Toni Serra, the student of Aproscom chosen through a draw to be the image of the 4th edition of the @proyecto.somriu.” SOM – RIU is a participatory mural project to aid people with intellectual disabilities. Learn more! Visit a previous GLaM post: SOM – RIU.

The world has not heard the last from Sath. He has just begun.

My sincerest Thank You’s to Sath, for allowing me the privilege of of continuing to cover his career, in the world of art and humanities. Also, gratitudes to Johanna! Her ongoing work for our planet began with Greepeace, & now with an NGO called Compassion in World Farming. They are truly a Renaissance Couple! – Resa
Below is an interview with Sath. He’s that uber happy, proud daddy you see above.
OMG! I stumbled upon an entertainment plaza made entirely out of shipping containers.
There’s shops for everything, small kiosks, restaurants and a beer hall+, park areas and more. The place has electricity and all the amenities.
There is art on everything! This project is still not finished.
Love this raccoon. Apparently, Toronto is the world’s Raccoon Capital!
