There’s a stretch of Dundas Street West that features the joy filled work of José Ortega.
It was a crisp -6 C, as I attempted, in my amateur style, to capture this ginormous sunny mural
It makes me happy!

You see me with your tiger eyes.
I look at you and fall in love with the eyes of a tiger.
A power box I fell in love with, west side of Dufferin St. between King and Queen.

Graf Art and Street Art & Murals were around for awhile before I clued in.
Quite often I find untagged pieces 10 years or older.
Paint peeling, colors fading and bricks flaking, they reveal recent urban histories.
I admit I enhanced this one.
I believe it’s worth documenting.
So begins my “Old Gold” series of Bits, Pieces and Murals that exceed a decade.

This 20 meter (65 foot) long mural is on an old apartment building. Located along a very narrow pathway, I found it impossible to capture it in it’s entirety.
It starts with a woman bearing water. Beside her is a phoenix. There is then a door that looks like it’s from Tarot Cards. The center section is a puffy abstract followed by a second Tarot door….
…then enter the Dragon!
I have made a Slideshow with elements from the mural and placed it between the 2 Tarot Doors.
What an adorable Dragon!

In the poison’d entrails throw.
— William Shakespeare – Scene 1 – Act 1 – MacBeth
Toad, that under cold stone Days and nights hast thirty one Swelter’d venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot.
Double,
double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Words from Act 1 – Scene 1 – MacBeth
Shakespeare at his finest!
Yes, I know there are 3 witches in Macbeth, but I was lucky to find this.

They are wonderfully pretty, and I have found them in alleys, on main streets and private residences.
SKAM is the artist of these beauties!
She’s even on Street Sticker Art

She’s the feature of a gorgeous graf mural on Niagra Street at the corner of the Queen W. alley S. side.
It seems to be a group effort signed: Robert Ryan Cruz – Doz, Nose, Cora, Anto, Wizwon, Flur, Markis, GF Crew, (Buck?) and with a “Thank you, Edith”
She’s a sultry beauty, and is my Spring Celebration Mural!
Stunning on black!
With so many elements
Now if I can just spot a crocus, or a Robin Red-Breast!
