Perhaps the Labyrinth I painted in the Wading Pool had a wee bit something to do with that enticement . . .
Nyah, it was splashing in cold water on a hot day !

Sometimes Young Wading Pool staffers turn on the vertical Fountain Geyser atop the Water Pump in the centre of Toronto’s Wading Pools.
Some of those wading pools have Labyrinths that I have painted in them.
This is Christie Pits Park . . .
The presence of water transforms the Labyrinth.
As much as the Labyrinth has transformed the Wading Pool . . .
In the now removed wading pool in Bellevue Square Park, I had painted the concentric circles of that Labyrinth in a wavy twisty style.
The idea was to mimic the look of the Labyrinth under water, for when the wading pool was water-free, which was most of the year.
It didn’t work out so well visually, and walkably, without the water.
I never painted another Labyrinth like that again.
The arcs of my Wading Pool Labyrinth appear wavy in Christie Pits Park, that’s the water doing that.
The Labyrinth here is indeed comprised of concentric circles.
Before Wading Pool season began this year in Toronto,
I repainted the faded arcs of my Labyrinth in Blue.
Grateful with how my Christie Pits Wading Pool Labyrinth looks filled with water . . .
Ships hunh?
Hmmm….
Has me wondering how well a remote control toy boat might navigate the Labyrinth in a Wading Pool filled with water?
Once the rain stopped, colours of my freshly painted Labyrinth on Kensington Avenue contrasted well !
When painting Labyrinths in Wading Pools, I do not consider my colour choices on what it will look like with the water filled in.
Looking at this photo, has me rethinking that decision.
It would be yet one more dimension to my use of Wading Pools as Labyrinth canvases . . .
Haven’t returned to Sir Casimir Gzowksi Park since I recently re-painted my Labyrinth in the Wading Pool.
Wonderful to see how well the colours work with the wading pool filled with water !
First time seeing my Dish With One Spoon / Man In The Maze / Medicine Wheel Labyrinth filled with water.
Looks even better than when I first imagined it in my mind’s eye four years ago . . .
“Before summer storm moves in, the pool for children is empty.
We could see the symbol of indigenous traditional culture, the four colours wheel.
How many of Canadian kids knew the meanings of four colours wheel?”
My recent work in repainting the lines of my Labyrinth and adding aglets were worthwhile.
