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.

northeast corner of Danforth and Byng in Scarborough, a row of four brick two storey storefronts with apartments above. Chopsticks restaurant is on the corner, it has a large mural along its west wall, flowers and a monarch butterfly. Next to restaurant is a barber shop and then an empty store. Danforth Auto Parts is at the east end

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)

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.
