STREET ART IN MONTREAL 17
This last week I discovered some other murals in the city. I had seen some of them before while I was driving by only now I stopped to take some photos.
This first mural was too big to fit it in one photo. No matter the angle it was still getting covered by the cars parked next to it.
Thus I had to break it down into smaller ones. Though seeing all of them together would have been awesome!
I loved seeing these bright colourful portraits!
The mother and the child in this mural seemed so real!
I had a to go in different areas of the city, I was lucky to see at least one mural in each neighbourhood I went.
This man smoking was one of my favourites ones for this week. Although it had seen better days and pieces of it are not visible as the paint is peeling off, its beauty did not fade. Or maybe it's just the fact that it's showing its scars that makes it more appealing.
When I saw the portrait of this woman I remembered I had taken photos of similar artworks realized on the legal wall. I wondered if it was the some artist?
Stumbling upon this Wu-Tang warrior got my son startled, but after a few moments he liked it. He also loved his two little rodent pets staying at its feet.
Can you believe that this beautiful mural illustrating a winter day in the neighbourhood make me shiver? It made me feel as if I was about to step into a winter wonderland while I was wearing shorts.
For the next mural also I had to take two different photos instead of one. Do you like bees?
How about kick-ass bees? These ones looked really mean!
Right next to the mural, on the ground I found another bee heading in a different direction. And then another one.
I followed the clues left by the bees on the ground for one or two blocks and they lead me to another mural.
The creativity of some artists is beyond one's imagination.
I applauded this idea of having bees and flowers leading to another artwork.
It was exciting not only for my son but also for me to follow the clues and see where the bees were taking us.
Guess what? The bees took us to a library! How cool is that?
This mural had a post card look and was quite charming!
The following artworks were realized on the legal wall, where artists are allowed to showcase their skills without the risk of getting a ticket.

Thank you!
What a collection of beautiful works! I can't decide which one I like the best. The first three are very cool! The warrior is superb... and the winter day mural is also pretty amazing!!!
To answer your last question, yes, I post a lot of Graffiti work from where I live... but also from around the world!
Thanks for sharing these amazing photos!
PS: You have a small typo right at the beginning:
Certainly you meant big.
I did. Thank you! I am heading now to see some of those you posted ;-)
I love good city wall art. I think I like the service station one best. Good stuff.
I liked it too!
I didn’t know there are legal and illegal walls for murals. We learn something every day. Your post is fantastic, you found so many murals. I like the bees 🐝 on the pavement, leading people to library. Cool.
Daily I learn something from Steemit, my son or by reading/watching something. If we stop learning, we are good as dead.
There are 4 such walls in my city. I don't know about other cities, but I think it is a great idea benefitting the artists and the city.
