Red & Black,
South & West Arcs of the Circle of Benches I painted and transformed into a Medicine Wheel,
in David Crombie Park, Old Town Toronto.
These are the four arcs which comprise a Circle of Concrete Benches located inside David Crombie Park in the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood of Old Town Toronto.
I previously painted the four arcs in the four colours of the Medicine Wheel, White, Black, Red, and Yellow.
The colours though looking less sharp than when I first painted them, are holding up.
That’s me.
I was painting in the orange colour Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada logo and the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation logo inside an open canvas space within the East/Yellow Quadrant of The Medicine Walk Labyrinth in Hillcrest Park, Toronto.
What the Medicine Wheel Labyrinth looks like in Summer time when it’s a Wading Pool Labyrinth filled with water . . .
Early Morning at The Labyrinth in Wells Hill Park, Midtown Toronto . . .
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?”
It’s beautiful! A wonderful way to begin Canada Day ! Thank you !

You’re very welcome Markus,
Appreciated the coffee & cake you brought out as I worked.
Happy Walking!
You can easily see the outlines of the black quadrant.
With difficulty you maybe can see the red lines of the red quadrant.
This is, or will be, my Medicine Wheel Labyrinth in the wading pool in Wells Hill Park, midtown Toronto . . .
Hope to finish painting it when I get back from Vancouver.
