Another one of my Labyrinths painted on the surface of a Wading Pool, this time in Eglinton Park, that needs its fading arcs to be repainted.
I need to better balance my Labyrinth re-painting regimen.

You’re most welcome !
Happy Labyrinth walking !

I painted this heart at the entrance of my Baltic Wheel Labyrinth Design on Kensington Avenue during the most recent Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market.
Round edges on either side of the Heart belong to the outer most turns during one’s Labyrinth walk . . .
Walk to the centre of my Robson Square Labyrinth painted in Downtown Vancouver,
And you will find a Heart . . .
Heart in the Centre of one the Labyrinths I chalked on Augusta Avenue in Kensington Market Toronto on the first care-free Pedestrian Sunday of 2019 . . .
Late afternoon Winter Sun casting shadows on rocks and paths outlining Vancouver Public Labyrinth . . .
Video of one walking one of my largest, and most complicated designed Labyrinths, I’ve ever painted in a Wading Pool in Toronto . . .
Yay!
This unexpected video find is bringing me such happiness!
My intention was to add two smaller Labyrinths in-between my Vancouver Public Labyrinth and the pathway along the False Creek Seawall.
This “wee” one is a classic design three lane Labyrinth made of small stones.
It’s a placeholder until I have time and energy to build a larger one using larger rocks.
Perhaps its fine as it is?
It certainly brought a smile to this Labyrinth’s Walker as we can see in the end of her video. . .
Plus she re-positioned a few misplaced stones along the way! Appreciated!
Friday night, I invested the better part of an hour chalking an entire Labyrinth in one of the Entertainment District’s car-free intersections on Granville Street.
Curious to see how much of it survived the day’s vehicle traffic, I returned Saturday night after the street was again closed off to cars and open for people.
Finding my previous night’s faint chalk outline had survived in varying degrees, the Labyrinth remained walkable.
I went for a test walk, and in doing so, a young boy with his mom observing, also began walking it.
A pleasant conversation followed and the young boy and his mom thanked me.
That was enough to confirm what I was going to do anyway, re-chalk the outline of the faded Labyrinth.
I decided to leave the aglets without re-chalked hearts at each of the turns.
I only redrew Hearts at the entrance and the centre this time. A rare decision on my part.
A safe estimate would be that hundreds of people walked, ran, laughed, and made this Labyrinth a part of their party night along Granville Street in Downtown Vancouver.
Including this young Lady, Karen, who stood out for me, as I saw her truly engage and explore and invest much time walking the Labyrinth.
Unexpectedly, found her instagram post, and here it is…
This is one of the Labyrinths I have been randomly chalking in the middle of intersections along Granville Street in Downtown Vancouver when the street goes Car Free on Friday and Saturday nights during the summer.
Never thought to photograph an entrance to any of my Labyrinths from this exact angle before.
Gives me quite a different understanding of my own art.
Or should I say, “STart” ?
“Sometimes, you need to go back to the beginning and reset.
“It’s about the journey and not the destination, like a Labyrinth in the middle of the street.
“Live in the moment.”
* * * “I love a Labyrinth and this one was in the middle of the street at two a.m. as the bars let out in Vancouver.
“People were smiling, connecting and enjoying.
“It was a moment.”
Sometimes it feels like there are more than one path, or one road, inside a Labyrinth; until you reach the Heart of Labyrinth, its Centre…
“🐀🌀” …Mouse in a Maze?
