ALL ABOARD FOR WONDER AND DR. FRANKENSTEIN'S COLLECTION OF SPARE PARTS

Wall Mural  WONDER  It all started when I was playing with lettering.  Valentine's day was coming up and I decided to try my hand at some illuminated letters.  I water coloured the background.   The left-hand side looked like a waterfall, down which I tumbled some hearts.  The letters are painted in watercolour and acrylic paints.  and then... I continued to water colour more paper and Wonder appeared  a piece of decorative paper under a piece of water coloured paper with illuminated letters painted in gold... and then.... photos of murals on the pylons of an underpass.  A couple of years ago I was in Toronto and I was looking for the Distillery District.  I got off the bus too soon and wandered around for awhile and found these amazing murals.  I think they were part of the decorations for the Pan Am games.   and then....I was bored one day and decided to turn these into something more, so I wrote a short story using each photo
