Fowl Play


Photograph of a mural in Lakeshore depicting an underwater scene with waterfowl

This mural is part of a project by Lakeshore Arts, in partnership with Mimico-by-the-Lake BIA and other partners, to bring some colour and beauty to their neighbourhood. Their proximity to the lake supplied the theme - all of their projects will feature water in some way. I love the unique vantage point chosen for this mural, and the feel of the underwater scene is beautifully rendered. The view of the goose -  or duck perhaps? - adds some whimsy. I love how the tree in foreground blends right in.

The mural was painted by artists Patrick Thompson and Alexa Hatanaka, and it is yet another mural project sponsored by StreetARToronto. It was unveiled in September 2013.
