Occasional Toronto: Fishing

Fishing

This is yet another mural from Dundas St in the Islington neighbourhood of the city. I just discovered it a couple of weeks ago and could find no info about it so have no idea who the artist is. The colours, especially in the underwater section, are so incredibly rich and vibrant and the detail on these water creatures so wonderful that it is a shame we don't know the artist. It must be pleasant to sit out on that balcony in the summer!
Taking part in Monday Murals. Click here for more murals.
