1333 Portage Avenue
Official title: “Rain Forests of South America”
Pet Traders commissioned it in 2003.
The brutal climate of Winnipeg has taken its toll on this stunning work of art.
Hopefully, this most awesome piece of art will be restored! As flaked as it was, it was a joy to behold!

“The Way We Were ” is the official title of this sepia toned mural. It’s so very gorgeous! It’s at 4972 Dundas Street W.
It depicts life in this area circa 1912.
So many sweet aspects
I did a Post of the horses and wagon 6 weeks ago, and I’m finally getting the rest of this wonderful mural out!

Glory, It wasn’t sleeting!
However it was “Thanksgiving” weekend, and the “Rocket” ran over a piece of wood with a very large nasty nail in it. Sherrie’s dad, and Poopsie rescued us.
The shutters are all painted. Unfortunately, the purlple-ish reefer smoking wolf was the only one down when we we there.
It’s a fun bit!

Here’s the rest of what I found in Loblaws’ parking lot!
I know it’s dizzying, but I found myself angling my camera for the sake of the reflection.
The pic above is so fabulous that I had to start my Post with it, even though it’s near the end of the Graffiti. So let me back up, and start at the beginning.
I came out of the LLBO. I spotted the Graf and cars at the far end of the lot, and began shaking.
The ginormous lot is on the east side of Dundas West between Bloor and Roncesvalles.
I was thrilled to find a red car in reflection position.
It looks so different reflected in red, quite stunning in its own right.
The cars were all clean and shiny!
The graffiti colours are intense, perfect for reflections.
I know, it’s hard to beat the drama of a shiny black vehicle.
I tried to get a shot of the Graffiti art from the other side, but I was sqinched into a corner with limited positioning.
Funny how companies, not people paint these things sometimes!

Artist Jill Sellers sent us this beautiful shot of her skateboarder at 558 Keenleyside Street.
Click on pic to enjoy a large view!
When I took shots of it, time had passed & it had been deteriorating. I am thrilled that Jill was kind enough to contact me & supply us with a pristine vision.
I have put my pics into a slideshow, as although not so gorgeous, represent the joy I felt upon discovering & approaching it.

Look what I found in a corner of Loblaws parking lot!
I don’t have time to show it all now, and yes, I am a glutton for reflected graf! I’ll do a post on the whole deal later. Promise!
I’m only about 200 Posts behind!

One of many, many Transit Boxes that are muralized in Winnipeg.
Each box has a theme.
This appears to be an old-tyme downtown scene.
