It is, and has been very grey in Toronto since January 1.
Fortunately, I have this bright and beautiful garage door.
Vernal Equinox is nigh!

Year of the Dog – Yay!
⭐️ This special post celebrates the Chinese Zodiac: THE YEAR OF THE DOG. ⭐️ “Hello, I’m Hera, your Hostess of Ceremonies on this exciting occasion”.
“I know I’m gorgeous, but my mom’s art pillows help add to my beauty. My mom is an artist, Marina Kanavaki and she has a blog!
At this celebration you will meet many dogs. You will meet real dogs & graffiti dogs.”
Above is Clay & Ruty. Their mom is Belén Soto & she has a blog, too! Hmm, that looks like a park behind them! Of course, dogs LOVE to go to the park with their humans.
“Year of the Dog begins on February 16, 2018 & ends on February 4, 2019.”
“So, let me introduce this stunning white graffiti dog I met in Graffiti Alley in Toronto.”
“Ah, beauty, thy name is dog! Did I mention dogs LOVE to go to the park with their humans.”
“Many Graffiti dogs, like this St. Bernard, live in the alleys.”
“Some like me, are rescue dogs. (Thank you mommy! ❤️🎵❤️.) The poor little thing below was rescued by Resa’s friend. Buddy was kept in 1 room, never had baths, never went to the park & lived in his own filth.”
“Buddy lives with Resa’s friend now. He goes to the park, gets baths & love.”
‘There is no Year Of The Human. When I see dogs like Buddy (and me before Marina found me) I know why.”
“However, I do wish there was The Year of the Mommies and Daddies Who Love Dogs, Mommies like Marina….. & Belén, where as you can see, there is no shortage of love.”
“Some dogs bay at the moon, even if they are painted & live in the alley.”
“Many graffiti dogs have gone into modelling and advertising.”
“Did I mention dogs like to go to the park?”
“Before I forget, I’d like to show you more pics of Ruty and Clay. Some are from when they were puppies.”
“So, While I’m being a good Hera waiting for Marina to take me to the park,”
I want to tell you that you can buy my mom’s art on Marina’s Art Shop Many products with her art on them are available on Society 6 Her music is at Marina’s Music & don’t forget her art calendar on MagCloud
Also, Ruty and Clay want me to tell you that you can buy Belén’s ceramics at Belén’s Tienda

Hop Around the Hopper People
Along the Liberty Village trail, they are painting all of the old silos and hoppers.
This is a painted hopper.
It is beside a leather company, but I prefer to think “pleather”.
Very interesting faces!
The legs are interesting, too.

So what if this art is on an old wood garage with many flaws & dry rot?
It was a “Le Gasp” moment for me when I found it.
A woman, a tiger & a bird are one helluva gorgeous line-up!

Reggae, the King’s Music
I went to a unique area of the city to get this fab Reggae mural.
When I found it, it was in a parking lot filled with cars. Yay, reflections!
I only knew basic history of Haile Selassie. However, if you are interested, as I was you can read the BBC article: Rastafrian Beliefs Regarding Haile Selassie
Moving on, it looks like Bob Marley leading into Haile Selassie …
… which forwards into ..
The Skatealites
Then the final fab bit.
The full length of the mural is fantastic!

For Emmie
I heard about a cat painting on an electric box.
After walking for an hour with no luck, it was right in front of me. It wasn’t on a box, it was on a silo!
I fell in love, and knew it would be for Emmie, even though Emmie looks completely different.
Emmie (Emily) is Georgiann’s Cat
The silo is round, and I wondered what the cat was looking at.
AHA! A robin!
I even lucked out with an art shot when the sun came out for 30 seconds.
