Yvonne Bambrick, The CARDENer, and me in front of Meryl Street, Kensington Market’s new Garden Car!
We’re standing atop the Green Leaves with Yellow Veins which I painted around the Garden Car during the beginning hour of the First Pedestrian Sunday of 2023.
First Pedestrian Sunday of 2023,
That’s me painting Green Leaves around the new Garden Car,
And then painting the words “Kensington Market” with my signature letter “i” dotted by a Giant Spiral.
Grateful for this pair of images,
Thank you!
Earlier in the day,
Pedestrian Sunday,
I painted Leaves around the Garden Car in Kensington Market.
Also painted Kensington Market with my signature spiral dotted letter “i” alongside the Garden Car.
This is how it looks later in the day…
Had such a perfect date in Kensington market today 🥰 I love pedestrian sundays 💕 pic.twitter.com/1JnWNGmOCz

I had the idea of painting Leaves around the Garden Car in Kensington Market for some time now,
Yet never got around to doing it.
On this First Pedestrian Sunday of 2023,
I got around to it.
The Green Leaves with Yellow Veins ended up being bigger than I was envisioning in my mind’s eye.
It really expands the Garden Car’s Personal Space,
Extending the Art part of the Garden Car into the street.
That’s me with Yvonne Bambrick in front of the brand new Garden Car,
Standing atop brand new Green Leaves with Yellow Veins I painted around the Garden Car.
The Garden Car is named “Meryl Street”!

There are no Pedestrian Sundays Kensington Market this Pandemic Year,
Yet there is still one of my Painted Street Labyrinths from last year.
And for a second time in one week,
A Classic Car has parked upon it . . .
Ford Thunderbird.

Cars beginning rolling atop my painted Labyrinths all along North Augusta Avenue after it re-opens to vehicular traffic . . .
The Street Labyrinth I painted one month ago is holding up pretty well on Augusta Avenue in Kensington Market.
I might leave it as is and not re-paint until it really fades . . .
“It’s not a labyrinth. This is the 407 highway in Toronto, supporting one of North America’s most congested highways.”
