I spotted this painted utility box on College St on the U of Toronto campus. The artist for this one is Keight MacLean, a recent art school graduate whose work shows where "historical influences meet modern techniques". It does remind one a bit of the old masters - not what you expect to find in such a location.

Indeed, that is not what one would expect on a utility box. I like it. I wonder what the story is behind it.
Hello,
It is different than the usual utility box murals. Still lovely though.
Enjoy your day, have a great new week ahead!
Very pretty, very grand for an utility box and I agree with you it does remind me of an old masters painting.
Thanks for contributing Pat.
Interesting! I would like to see the sides, too, as the scene seems to continue around there.
Have a wonderful week!
I'm enthusiastic about art on utility boxes! I wonder if it's spontaneous or organized by municipalities or by utility companies. We have it too (Ann Arbor, MI).

This is well done! I do like seeing utility boxes decorated in this fashion.
interesting. utility box beautified.
An interesting find, thanks for sharing it with us.

An interesting mix!
Yes, hard to believe it is a mural. Your city seems to have such beautiful art in public places.
How interesting, P!
Another great looking utility box. Well done!
Lovely!
Another well done piece, and quite different from the last one you showed us.
It's beautifully done Pat. I had a look at her Facebook page, she's a super talented artist.
I like this one. It reminds e of art nouveau.
