In a narrow “Restricted Access” driveway, on the north side of Queen West and a couple of short city blocks west of Dufferin St. lives this fresh beauty. It’s 2 stories high and 35ish feet deep.
“Kwest” is the artist, and I found a lot of interesting elements within it. I put them in this Slideshow.

“Diamonds are nice and so are pearls,
but there’s nothing like us pretty girls” (unknown quote)
This quote was submitted by Le Drake Noir in the comments section of my post from February 2, 2013 titled “For Your Love”
It has inspired my series of Pretty Girl Posts, so all “Pretty Girl” posts are dedicated to Le Drake Noir.

In an alley south of Queen St. W. these gorgeous horses grace a wall.
Languishing in swirls, they have no bodies. I guess that’s why they make me think of Sea Horses.
They also look like Knights from a chess board.
Man, I love this alley!

There’s red, white, magenta and green, but sometimes I’m just in a blue mood.

Back alley south of Queen Street West between Spadina and Bathurst

Pretty lines caress my eyes
Colors carry through
Then as I’m tasting something sweet
My heart is filled with you.

Poem by Resa: February 19, 2013
Dedicated to Sherrie Yager
It was 10 below when I shot this cross-lane that leads into what I call “The Golden Mile” which is the alley south of Queen West running between Spadina and Bathurst.
The shots in the Slideshow zigzag through the lane.

Although I’m trying to systematically document areas, I can’t help getting excited and becoming creatively scattered.
Sometimes I’m just like an alley cat going for the bits I like best in whatever lane I’m in.
I pushed the colors in the shot below more than I ever have in a pic. It’s an attempt to show how lush the Graffiti Art is in some of Toronto’s core back lanes.
