Wider perspectives...This summer, I found myself riding my bike down familiar routes. In February, I painted a mural of Ryerson students, then returned to add more students onto the next wall. In July, I painted a nature mural at The Rock Store, then went back a month later to extend the crystal mountains.
A trip to Canada's East Coast, opened our eyes to jaw dropping landscapes. From Halifax, we drove to the famous lighthouse at Peggy's Cove and to the colourful town of Lunenburg. In Cape Breton, we saw whales spout water in the distant horizon and admired expansive views along the Cabot trail. A ferry to Prince Edward Island, a bike ride along red sand dunes, a walk on the ocean floor when the tide was out... plenty of reasons to make use of the PANO option.
It seemed that as my murals got longer, I saw the world expand into panoramas.

Ryerson University
Students in the halls...6 months later, I was back at the Ted Rogers School of Management. I stepped into a familiar routine to paint a few of the students who didn't make it onto the first wall. Now the mural extends on an adjacent wall past Ted's Kitchen. Papers of all colours get tossed in the air to celebrate student life and the beginning of their careers.Follow my next mural at The Holiday Inn, on Instagram...
The Rock Store
Crystal Mountains...The Rock Store mural was so well received, they asked for more! Instead of returning the bench to it's original spot, the empty space is full of more mural. The crystal formations have grown towards the front door. A calm owl and a few pine trees blend into the natural theme on both the inside and outside of the store.I paint murals, always happy to hear about referrals...

Go East... For the last week of August, my boyfriend and I explored the East Coast of Canada for the very first time. The views were spectacular! Broad landscapes of ocean, mountains and beaches widened my peripheral vision. Now everything looks like a panorama. Check out custom designed murals at pamlostracco.com...
