April Showers painted 2 works, one on the outside of the Painted House and one on the inside.
This is the one on the outside.
I fell for it in a heartbeat.
Here she is in context with other art on the outside.
I won’t be able to post all of the art individually, but will reveal amap in the process.

Check out this exquisite mural Diana – Myths of the Mirror painted on an outside wall of her studio.
The colours make me think of autumn, my fave season.
They go with the colours in this stained glass effect garage door at The Painted House.
The same artist did some art inside the Painted House, that had similar colours and that cool stained glass effect.
Holly picked September for my recent post on Art Gowns. It’s perfect for this post. Thank you Merril for suggesting I use it again!

The stained glass effect Artist:
Can you find Resa in the painted house collage?
Found this in the alley by “The Painted House”.
A house is being demolished, and artists were invited to paint it inside and out.
Of course I went, and shot lots of great art.
I will be featuring some of the art, and possibly an overview in the coming weeks, in between other art posts.
“The Painted House” will be closed and torn down after the weekend.
Thank you May, for the tip.

I think this is a Toucan?
Probably an angel Toucan. He/she does have a golden halo.
Does the bell in the 3-D triangle mean anything?
I’m of 3 minds.
#1– Absolutely nothing.
#2 – There is a “Bell Triangle”. You can read about it on –Wolfram MathWorld
Suddenly the 3-D writing on the left looks like numbers.
OR 3 –
A Triangle Bell

The Artists:
A wall was painted for a scene in a movie. After the scene was shot, the wall was painted over. I knew from the first piece, that something was off. Let me know which one you thought was fake in comments. Answer at end of post.

They shot a movie once, in my hometown
Everybody was in it, from miles around
Out at the speedway, some kind of Elvis thing
Well, I ain't no movie star
But I can get behind anything.
When You Blow at High Dough - The Tragically Hip
I could blame the Toronto traffic.
ARRROOOOO
OR – a lot of other stuff.
Still, when I found this wolf, I felt a happy thrill.
Nothing makes me feel better than art, all art, all of the arts.
Even in a nasty alley, I feel great!

The Artist:
Ecila looked up at the hot summer’s sun.
She was on her way to Teagan’s Christmas in July blog party, in a beautiful new gown. Blinded by the light, she accidentally turned left into a mural. Ecila looked around at the black and white world, and saw no way out.
Suddenly there was a black and white cat looming before her. “Who are you?” she asked.
“Why I’m Tac Tac the Water Cat,” he replied, “and you can’t get out the way you came in. You’ll have to go through the Purple Pink Rabbits’ door, in the pink alley.”
“Take this!” said Tac Tac, and he handed Ecila a gold rabbit coin. “Use it wisely. It’s your one chance to get out of here.”
Ecila wandered black and white curves until she saw a pink alley. In the alley was a Purple Pink Rabbit. “Hello! What’s your name, and can you please show me the door out of here?”
“I’m Tibbar,” the rabbit replied, “and yes, the door is at the top of the stairs.”
Ecila looked up some stairs guarded by three Purple Pink Rabbits. The door was there!
“But first you’ll have to get past Bugsy, Mugsy and Thugsy. Bugsy and Mugsy charge 5 gold rabbit coins each. Thugsy gets seven.”
“But I have only one gold rabbit coin,” Ecila said looking up at Bugsy.
“Not my problem,” replied Bugsy.
“There’s only one way to make gold rabbit coins here,” offered Mugsy. “You’ll have to play poker with the dogs! The game’s around the corner on an old red wood sliding door.”
Ecila found the dog’s game, draped her tail up to look like a gambler’s cape and threw her gold rabbit coin on the table.
“Chips please!” she demanded cooly.
The dogs howled. They figured she was just a human, and they would relieve her of her gold rabbit coin faster than the first day of winter. A chick in a bolero hat put a small stack of chips on the table for her.
Ecila thought of the wise words from her non uncle Kenny.
After many hours of holding, folding and not counting her chips, Ecila cashed in for 17 gold rabbit coins. She left the extra chips on the table, let down her tail and walked away.
Once out of sight of the dogs, she began running to the Purple Pink Rabbits’ door.
Ecila ran up the stairs tossing gold coins to the rabbits.
She threw the last 7 coins to Thugsy, and fled out the door. Elica ran all the way toTeagan’s blog hop party, where she made a grand entrance in her new Winter Solstice gown.
“Sorry I’m late everyone! My hair is mess and well, I can’t even begin to tell you what I’ve been through,” Ecila lightly panted. “Let me just say some cats are water cats, there’s such a thing as Purple Pink Rabbits and the the dog days of summer really are dog days.”
Teagan is holding a Christmas in Summer blog hop party. It doesn’t have to be Christmas, just a winter celebration around that time. Click on her badge above, and read the guidelines!
