It was blobs of color & I thought I saw an eye.
The pics reveal a tiger that I couldn’t see in the alley at 1:00 P.M. under a bright sun.

An excellent find in a skinny alley!

I wonder if her name is Theresa? (the harvester, maiden bearing ears of corn)


Blow the following up for a big shot!


Love the braid holder!

This is for Georgiann.
I found a massive mural, and enough art my battery died, but this is the one piece that truly moved me.
I’m calling Street Heart.

STRONG SMART UNITED

In this post I will highlight the last 5 smaller pieces, and the alley itself in segments. “Strong Smart United” begins the east end of the alley at Lansdowne.
The paintings then turn a corner, into a parking area with fire escape and a one car garage. All of the 18 works of art, except 1 piece, are on walls on the south side of the alley.
I used my Pano setting to get amap of the atmosphere into 1 shot. This pic should show 6 pieces, but the garage door is open, and there is a piece on that. All of the Pano shots blow up nicely if you click on them.


Here, the garage door is down.

Now there’s a vehicle parked in front of the garage door, and as we come out of the parking indent, we see another 3 works along the alley’s walls. If you squint, or blow up the pic, you can see more art further down.
I adore this alley! 18 works of art, done by 20 women!

Another parking indent, 2 more pieces on a fence and a single on the side of a building. On the right is the one work on the other side.

Kurly Girlz are the alley wall of the last piece by Courtney Binns, which is on the side. One just needs to look around the corner. Here I am near the west end of the alley looking to the east.
There is one more piece behind me, but it is further along, detached a bit from the rest. It is set into a boarded up window surrounded by 4 year old works, all done by some very cool guys.
The above piece and all of Alley 18 posts can be linked to from the “Smart Strong United” pic on my sidebar.

New Artists: In order as they appear in this post
Artist: Bareket says “I’m filled with love from this weekend at #WomenPaintTO. It was a privilege to paint alongside 19 incredibly talented, kind and supportive artists.”
And I’m filled with love for all of these sisters, who I don’t know.
I dedicated this post to them, and to all the women who follow this blog. #Women Write Paint Photograph & Create WordPress!
Alley 18 is coming to an end. Here are two more.

There’s still 5 more small pieces after this post, and I will be using them for an alley 18 summary post.
