Winnipeg –  2006 Mural of the Year.

Jill Sellers was kind enough to provide photos of this 92 x 50 ft. mural taken when it was new.

My eye is drawn to smaller detail, of which there is plenty in this stunning mural. So I have kept some of my shots, taken years later when the mural had faded.

145 Market Street – As a clothing designer, this detail is especially pleasing to me.

Although Jill Sellers was the original conceptual artist she needed help to pull this off & insists the amazing artists, who contributed a lot, be duly credited.

Pollution Bites

I thought, oh what a nice colorful mural!.

Bites #4

Until I really started looking at it.

If you’ve ever seen a documentary on the ill fate of the beautiful polar bears, I know you are a changed person.

Bites #2

Perhaps it’s because we humans are the polluters that I do not feel sorry foe us, but I truly feel for the animals.

I believe we’ve learned a lot, but are we doing anything? When it comes to pollution maybe it’s really humans that bite!
