This polar bear lives in an alley behind Selkirk Avenue in Winnipeg.
I can usually find out the artist and year of Winnipeg murals, but this one is evading me.

Stained Glass
This appealing mural is inspired by stained glass.
It wraps 2 partial sides and the front of an art store.
I’m showing it left to right. Above is a bit from the first corner turning onto the front of the store.
The woman above, and below make up the front.
Turning the last corner,
we find another woman reflecting at the water’s edge.

Tales from the Gimli Hospital & More
From the Guy Maddin film “Tales from the Gimli Hospital”.
This ostrich is one of many from “Twilight of the Ice Nymphs”.
As the director, Guy Maddin, did not want his portrait in the mural, Charlie Johnston represented the director from the rear.
From ‘Dracula: Pages From a Virgin’s Diary’.
A purple eye was inspired from a short film Maddin did on Odilon Redon. Unfortunately, a beer sign was affixed upon it!
