This fabulous hummingbird is part of a massive mural in Toronto’s east end Chinatown.
How perfect to thank Cindy Knoke for her contributions to Kids’ Month.
After all, Cindy is the winner of the best and most hummingbird posts, ever!
This shot blows up beautifully!
Of Course the mural is not all about the hummingbird.
There are more aspects to this beautiful work.
Such as this flower at the opposite end, or are they leaves that look like a flower?
Mountain peaks and
… and mountain terraces to a shrine.
It was very difficult to shoot this with my IPhone.
The pic above is cropped. I had to stand quite far away to capture it in 1 piece.
Well, maybe it is all about the hummingbird, and its flower!

Raised early on by his Ojibway grandparents, Jackson was removed from his home as a child and placed in the government’s controversial “Residential Schools” program.

In 1970, Jackson and his family were forbidden entrance to the National Arts Centre gala in Ottawa. The show, commemorating Manitoba’s centennial, featured Jackson’s work.

In 1972 Jackson and six more native artists formed the “Professional Native Artist Association”. This has come to be known as “The Indian Group Of Seven”.

In 1985, the year after his death, 2 murals were painted in his honor. Based on prints of Jackson’s, they have since been restored and repainted. Read all about the Jackson Beardy Mural

I would like to take an appropriate moment to thank J. Walters for the posts of hers I used for Kids’ Month. Her blog Canadian Art Junkie not only features Canadian artists, but is running a special this year featuring 150 Canadian Artists to help celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday.
