Backyard – The Painted House

It’s a tiny backyard, green & overgrown. Whoever lived there loved their yard.

At the back end of the yard was the side of the garage. One enters the garage from the alley.

This face& upper torso was painted on the garage’s side wall, decorated with old tools.

I think she’s holding an albatross, albeit with a straight beak. How cool would that be, to have an albatross of my very own?

Objects from inside the house & garage were brought into the yard and painted. This triptych made from 3 doors is really cool.

Below is a slideshow of some of the painted objects, and a full pic of the backyard.

Located in Cabbagetown, the mural has been well documented in its many years of life.

The cabbages look like big, fat green roses to me. The apple temptation, well, what do you think?
