Joni, on Reflection

On May 4, 2016 By ResaIn Murals, Street Art21 Comments

I’m sure it’s Joni Mitchell.

It’s on Bank Street in Ottawa..

…with Gordon Lightfoot.

Although, I’m not sure who the last 2 (accordion & guitar) are.

2 Fox & a Boar

On May 1, 2016 By ResaIn Murals, Street Art33 Comments

This is the first mural I spotted in Ottawa.

I gasped as we drove by. Zena was driving, so I was able to spot it. I returned later to shoot it.

I love the colors. The panorama looks fab blown up.

I can’t figure out this animal. The best I can come up with is a boar.

Any other suggestions?

The Artist: Yeah, I can’t read it, but it’s in conjunction with Ottawa Urban Arts

I love the burnout from the sun!

Zena parked us, & a wonderful face & hand were there.

This is all I have time for right now. Will shoot some of the amazing street art I’ve seen in Ottawa, on the weekend.

The Magic Meadow

On February 23, 2016 By ResaIn Kids' Month - 2016, Murals, Street Art36 Comments

This Magic Meadow is in Ottawa.

It has a magic tree that sheds light to all who grow under it.

The Mushrooms especially like it, because they often grow in shaded places.

All life is happy in the Magic Meadow.

Poser Bunnies are found in alleys all around Toronto.

They are adorable & hysterically funny.

This mini-mural collaboration is in an alley in Kensington Market

This cutie is in Graffiti Alley, Queen West.

This corigated garage door is in a Queen W. alley near Niagra.

Another Kensington Market find.

Poser in Ottawa? I found it there, but is it really a Poser or a copy-bunny.

A Brush with History

Bill Webb (BW Thoughts) sent this gorgeous historical mural from Ottawa, Illinois, U.S.A.

As I have often had to do, Bill shot the mural in segments. Here are the segments from left to right.

Bill wrote:

“If you ride the I&M canal out from Chicago to the end, about 80 miles in you come to Ottawa ( named after the Indian word for trade )”

“it is at the conflux of three rivers, and the canal goes through there( built in 1848 ), but as far back as the 1600’s the French traders settled here and traded furs with the Indian tribes of the region.”

“The rivers were marshy and prone to flooding, so when the canal was built, little towns began to sprout up along the route, and goods and people began to flow West. In many ways this town is still a sleepy place that mirrors small town America at its best.”
