The last place we lived in Canada was Winnipeg, but that was back in the 1960s. Thanks for showcasing these murals!

  Your welcome, I love showing the murals. Winnipeg began its love of murals around the late 1980’s.They are worth seeing in real life!

Thank you for posting these. I am always in Winnipeg in the winter, and don’t tend to venture far from what I am attending – but now I will have to find these!

I can’t vote. Each piece has its beauty for different reasons. I like them all. The glass mosaic is particularly gorgeous, and I can’t imagine the amount of time that went into the preparation of the glass and then the creation of that enormous piece of art. Just that they all have something special to offer.

Sending lots of love and hugs my friend, and thank you for sharing your photography with us.

  I agree, Joni! It’s hard to judge art. All I know is that sometimes one piece will appeal to me in a big way…or an artist’s style can mesmerize me.
  Thank for checking out the art! Sending bundles of love and hugs your way! ❦🌹
