Parkdale

This freshly painted mural lavishes along a wall in  the parking lot of the Parkdale Public Library.

Parkdale #1

I chose this mural tonight for Crafty Bunch who likes to Google map the locations of the Graffiti Art and travel there virtually. There are at least 2 views of this mural available to her.

Parkdale #2

The library is at 1303 Queen Street West, Toronto.

We are still in Winnipeg, in the alley behind The Gas Station Theatre building. On the corner, there’s this pretty lady.

Gas #18


When I say she’s on the corner, I mean literally on the corner.

Gas #22

She’s a bit chipped up from the harsh winters since 2006 when she was painted by an unknown artist, but she’s still quite wonderful. I hated to leave, but Sherrie had me on 20 minute allotments per mural.

Gas #20

Oh look, it’s the Sea Bugs along the other side.

Considering the brutality of a Winnipeg winter, they’ve held up nicely.

Theater Engagement One

Done 7 years ago as a beautification project, The Gas Station Theatre’s and adjacent plaza’s surrounding planters were all painted.

Gas #1

Located at 445 River Avenue, the Artist is Unknown

Gas #2

In 2006, the owners of the property were asked not to plant flowers in the planters because criminals were stashing their drugs and weapons in them.

Gas #3

I was there in the fall of 2012. There was enough dead plants in the planters to suggest that the beautification had succeeded and vegetation is once again welcomed.

Gas #4

There’s still lots more!
