This was the final Labyrinth I painted on the July 2019 Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market. It’s located on Kensington Avenue, placed mostly in front of a laneway exiting onto the street. The asphalt is crackly and didn’t make a very good candidate for a Street Labyrinth canvas. Yet because it is in front of […]

This was the final Labyrinth I painted on the July 2019 Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market.

It’s located on Kensington Avenue, placed mostly in front of a laneway exiting onto the street.

The asphalt is crackly and didn’t make a very good candidate for a Street Labyrinth canvas.

Yet because it is in front of a no parking zone, due to the laneway exit, it is an ideal location for a Labyrinth that can remain car-free at all hours outside of Pedestrian Sunday.

My Blue Labyrinth is still there! Yay! My previous Labyrinth was removed in late April. I expect this too to be removed by The City at some point, yet hopeful I am wrong. Until then, it will remain a memory opportunity for visitors to Toronto . . .

This was the final Labyrinth I painted on North Augusta Avenue before the street was re-opened to vehicular traffic this past Pedestrian Sunday Kensington Market.

As I finished chalking, Yvonne Bambrick informed me I had barely 30 minutes to paint the chalk outline of my design, before the cars began rolling through.

I rushed the painting and took every short cut I could to complete at least a single coat of paint atop the chalk outline.

Only one Aglet was transformed into a Heart.

The Heart at the top of the Labyrinth was left with only the outline painted and one long brush roll half-way into the centre of it.

I was shocked, surprised, satisfied with how fast I painted it.

It was walk-able. Which numerous people began to do.

Yet many more people self-organized for group photographs captured atop the Labyrinth.

I’m still basking in the glow, the feeling, the learnings, from this Red Labyrinth.

Something has changed for me.

I can complete painted Labyrinths a LOT faster than I thought.

When Yvonne gave that 30 minute warning, she didn’t dissuade me from beginning to paint, she simply let me factually know I had a deadline.

My mind wanted to blurt out loud, “Challenge Accepted.”

…I kept that to myself.

Humility. The hell with my Hubris.

Result ?

This Red Labyrinth . . .
