Dundas Flowers


This is the last of Jose Ortega's Dundas St West murals for now - I have heard of 1 more so will have to go down for another pic and also a visit to the Brazil Bakery to try some of those treats Lucia mentioned a couple of days ago. This mural is on the side of a house which is located beside a large parking area so I assume they were being tagged with graffiti regularly and have decided to go for flowery paint instead - excellent solution!

I agree that it's a great solution. It's so much nicer than graffiti!

That is how to brighten up a parking lot!

Goodness 1960s wallpaper, only outside the house and with really really big flowers!

If the unfortunate choice is graffiti or this mural, the choice is easy!

I love this one Pat -- I wouldn't mind having it on an outside wall at our little house in florida. Do you think he'd like to come visit ;>)
