I found this mural on Old York Lane in the heart of Yorkville. It's a little section of Toronto that hosts high-end fashion boutiques and the like, but it's a nice place for window shopping (for me at least!). I tried to find some more information about this work online, but my searches have not been fruitful. If anyone knows anything more about it, or the artist, please let me know. I think it adds a nice touch to this lovely little lane.

cette maison est une vraie toile de peinture
James Hill must have expended quite the effort on this - it's big!
It certainly does add a nice touch to an otherwise kind of boring wall. I'm all for murals if they add rather than despoil a wall. Nice find halcyon.
i really like that mural!
His name is James Hill there is a great explanation here
@Violet Sky - thanks for the link!
Interesting idea...a mural on a building of a building. Looking at the real tree and the tree on the mural, it looks like the mural is mirroring it. Cool!
This doesn't look anything like the Yorkville I remember! It was all modern... This is charming.
I love this murals, so colorful!! Great shot for the meme.
I learned a lot from the link Violet provided. The creation of a building on a building is like echoing reflections. The Violin Lessons window shade and the embracing couple in another window add a sense of liveliness and immediacy to the scene. What a fun, beckoning entrance to this lane. Makes me expand my thinking about the function of murals. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural, Halcyon.
It is amazing what can be done. We only have one mural near where we live and it changes every four or five years.
I like the colours. Excellent find. VioletSky gave you the best link.
Good one! I hope it survives the continuing gentrification of this once quirky area.
Nicely done!
That's a very "painterly" mural, Halcyon. It certainly dresses up that wall.
Great mural, and thank Violet Sky for the description, made it all make sense.
I love those bright colors! I see some dormers in this mural. Nice touch!
Its certainly colorful. It adds a bit of character to the area.
It's quite lovely -- colorful, sure would add to the joys of (what would be for me too) window shopping!
I like this mural.
Creative and beautiful mural!

This is great!

I hate the new word verification. Since I have trouble reading those "words", I am assuming others do too.
