A silly title for a post about four east end murals on the Danforth by two artists. But diving right in…
On the side of the Chopsticks Restaurant is a mural, “Pollination of Oakridge” painted by De Anne Lamirande.
Two pink lilies in the middle with purple asters on both sides. Bees and a monarch butterfly.

Nearby, is a mural on the side of the old Imperial Plumbing Supplies store.
A blue jay on a tree branch, a vintage gas pump, and a train that seems to be saying “I think I can, I think I can”, painted by Magic F. Wong (Magic Finnga Wong, Basil Dwayne Jardine Jr)
below: Even some bright flowers are having problems cheering up the sad looking door and window.
We’ve now covered the chopsticks and the plumbing so that just leaves us with a couple of owls keeping a watchful eye on the Danforth:
One in front of a birch tree and a night time sky…

and one with soft brown feathers. It almost looks cuddly although I’d be wary of that beak.

Don’t you dis that title, it is perfect — and apart from describing elements of this post, it reminds us of the wonderful juxtapositions we meet, every time we hoof around with open eyes
Love the murals. Thanks for sharing them with us.
