Deeply Appreciative of J Guerrero for creating this Drone Photograph of the Labyrinth I painted in the Wading Pool in the middle of Christie Pits Park in Toronto. I may have imagined how it might look like from above, yet this photograph reveals so much and is so much more than I had ever seen […]

Deeply Appreciative of J Guerrero for creating this Drone Photograph of the Labyrinth I painted in the Wading Pool in the middle of Christie Pits Park in Toronto.

I may have imagined how it might look like from above, yet this photograph reveals so much and is so much more than I had ever seen in my mind’s eye!

Wonderful!

Thank you J. Guerrero!

Bonus Drone Photograph…

The round circle of bricks beside the basketball courts was my Original Labyrinth I painted in Christie Pits Park before painting the Wading Pool Labyrinth seen in the first Instagram image above.

Labyrinths are great for mindfulness and meditation. 😊”

“In different parts of Toronto,

A local Artist/Labyrinth Enthusiast has been given permission to paint Labyrinths onto local splash pads across the city.

What a joy!

David Zalokar

Ummm….

“…has been given permission…”

Sure, Yeah, Let’s go with that !

hahahhaha !!!

Well, technically, The local City Councillor, Mary Margaret McMahon, was literally steps away from the Wading Pool as I finished painting the Fairmount Park Wading Pool Labyrinth.

She was in the park for a small public meeting she had pre-advertised online.

I timed my final Labyrinth painting session so it would match the exact timing of the Councillor’s walk around the park.

When her meeting was done, Councillor McMahon came over, addressed me by name and asked what I was doing ?

I told her I had just finished painting the latest of my Labyrinths in my Toronto City of Labyrinths Project; placemaking Labyrinths within walking distance of every Torontonian.

I also clearly stated I just paint the Labyrinths, asking no one for permission, as there is no one to ask.

She said, “Wow”.

And we left it at that.
