* … Father & Son walking The Re-Painted Grange Park Labyrinth.
Little one having a Mindful Moment in the centre of the Baltic Wheel Labyrinth I painted on Augusta Avenue on Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market…
Early Morning Labyrinth Walkers at the recently repainted Grange Park Labyrinth . . .
Before it was depainted.
Capture-wise,
The canary yellow outline of the Labyrinth Design works well in contrast to the Giant Wall of Sky Blue colouring the south wall Grange Park facing side of the Art Gallery of Ontario.
From now on,
Maybe I will no longer repaint the Grange Park Labyrinth using shades and tints of Blue.
Yellow may be the way to go.
Grateful to see little ones in Vancity can still explore and enjoy (my) Vancouver Public Labyrinth !
My Recently Re-Re-Re-Re-Re-painted Labyrinth in Grange Park provides Play underneath Grey skies, below Blue Walls . . .
Your Mission,
Should you choose to accept it,
Is to complete the Grange Park Labyrinth.

Good luck
Fifteen Grade 9 Students at Brampton’s Only All-Girls Catholic Secondary School walking my second Proof-of-Concept Chalk Labyrinth.
The width of the Labyrinth outlines were chalked/re-chalked in 3 inch widths, the same width as my go-to size when painting permanent Labyrinths using paint rollers.
This second Labyrinth Candidate Location works.

Because there is ample space on either side of my Nine Lane circular chalk design seen here,
Final design can include additional wing-like lanes afforded by the rectangular asphalt canvas space.
Look closer.
You can see children walking, running, around the Labyrinth I re-painted in the middle of Grange Park in Downtown Toronto.
After the most recent removal of the Grange Park Labyrinth by The City of Toronto,
I decided to experiment to see IF they would remove a much less visible Labyrinth ?
The width of Labyrinth’s lines aree one inch wide, rather than my regular three inches wide.
I made it an almost invisible from a distance by painting a light green colour.
So far, it’s been there, unremoved, being enjoyed, explored, and played in by little ones mid-way into August.
Hopefully it stays this time.

This Toddler’s first Labyrinth Walk,
was in my Wading Pool Labyrinth in Eglinton Park, Toronto.
Often you need many minutes to complete the entire Labyrinth Path.
Other times, like on World Labyrinth Day, you only need 6 seconds !
Many thanks Steve for showing me this !
I repainted the entire Christie Pits Park Wading Pool Labyrinth on the day before the current Stay-at-Home Order went into effect.
I painted one additional lane right around the water pump in the centre of the wading pool,
Expanding this into a 12 Lane Labyrinth.
Concentric Circle Arcs looking good in Deep Dark Blue !
Because I finished (re)painting it after dark,
This is the first time seeing anyone walk into the final 12th Labyrinth Lane before reaching and entering the centre !
Quite Grateful to see these images and time lapse video.
It shows how ugly it is right now,
because of how much the colours haves faded off my Labyrinth painted on the surface of the wading pool in Christie Pits Park in Toronto.
This suddenly bumps UP which of my Labyrinths will be re-painted first during my semi-regular Labyrinth Maintenance Rounds …
Christie Pits Park will soon gets it Labyrinth back,
Beautiful as ever, and with a slight redesign expansion to 12 Lanes !
As soon as I can find paint roller, enough blue paint, and time.
My painted Orange Labyrinth is fading,
Yet remains visible, walkable, explorable, enjoyable by these two young Vancouverites . . .
“Today the City of Toronto removed our Labyrinth as “graffiti” while leaving the actual graffiti on the benches and park furniture alone.
Every year they do this.
This year,
When this is my kid’s post-school calm down space,
It’s particularly frustrating.
Why can’t we have community art?
Luckily I know it will come back next summer.
It always seems to show up,
Magically in the night,
Until The City destroys it again.”
