Labyrinths.
Part of Fantastic Sunday Routines . . .
My Labyrinth Designs often include Canvas Spaces at the turn-arounds.
You can see two such rectangular spaces in the “Scarboro Labyrinth” in the wading pool in Prairie Drive Park.
One with my name, and another without any artwork in it.
Perhaps Vertical Art like this Plastic Oasis piece can be placed in those squares and rectangles, leaving the Labyrinth path walkable without obstruction . . .

Labyrinth I painted, with help from Steve(!),
In the Wading Pool in Eglinton Park, Midtown Toronto . . .
Music + Parade approach my multi-coloured painted Butterfly Labyrinth on Kensington Avenue during Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market Toronto . . .
“Nestled in a thriving neighbourhood, Margaret Fairley Park has a popular wading pool feature with a small Labyrinth mural.”
This little park kept its “A” rating in 2016’s Annual Parks Survey conducted by The Annex Gleaner.
One of my older Labyrinths, I painted this one on the Traffic Island opposite Christie Street Subway Station, north of Bloor Street West in Toronto . . .
There used to be a water fountain in the middle, and thus the weird oval shape making up the enlarged centre of the Labyrinth.
The intention was you would walk the Labyrinth and then be able to get a drink of water using the fountain.
The fountain broke.
I painted the Labyrinth to draw attention to the broken water fountain.
Urban Acupuncture !
Rather than fix the fountain, the City of Toronto removed it.
I’ve been re-painting this Labyrinth ever since . . .

Labyrinth Maker Steve Purificati is working on finishing this four colour Labyrinth in Wells Hills Park, on St. Clair Ave West in Midtown Toronto.
I was kind of pissed off that after all my work in creating this Labyrinth, this lady and comes and chalks her commercial website’s URL right in the centre of the Heart…
It gave an impression that she or her website created or sponsored this Heart Labyrinth on Augusta Avenue.
Aw well.
The incline towards the centre appears removed and you’d never realize the three colour Labyrinth was never painted upon a flat surface.
A Wonderful capture of my Labyrinth painted in the abandoned wading pool in Riverdale Park East.
