Occasional Toronto: Butterfly Lane

Butterfly Lane

A few weeks ago the third annual butterfly laneway painting project took place, this one along a lane south of Harbord St. Once again it was organized by Nick Sweetman whose work I have shown before (click on the label below) and was supported by the city and the David Suzuki Foundation. I think there are around 20 garages that have been painted with butterfly motifs. This one with the dancing Monarchs had no artist name unfortunately. It was sunny day with a lot of tree shadows but that just gave a bit more texture to the doors.
Taking part in Monday Murals. Click HERE to see more murals from around the world.
