I&#8217;m even more taken when a village had been built around them and materials have been used in unusual ways.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Villiage of Islington\" href=\"http:\/\/www.villageofislington.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Toronto&#8217;s Village of Islington<\/a> is built around 15,000 square feet of &#8220;historically pictorial&#8221; murals. Each mural tells a story and depicts an age-gone-by time period. These are both endearing and well-executed educational stories in paint. They were conceived by the BIA, Business Improvement Area to beautify and promote Islington Village. They&#8217;ve done a fabulous job, worth me traveling to see when I&#8217;m able to take that trip that I&#8217;ve been wanting to to Canada. Just look at the horse coming out from the corner of the two buildings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/village-mural-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4519\" title=\"village mural 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/village-mural-1.png\" alt=\"Village of Islington Murals as seen on Art Is Everywhere blog\" width=\"475\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/village-mural-1.png 679w, https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/village-mural-1-300x186.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The murals are so popular here that they have now been <a title=\"Inside Toronto\" href=\"http:\/\/www.insidetoronto.com\/what%27s%20on\/article\/1225721--islington-mural-calendar-hits-stores\" target=\"_blank\">printed in calendar form<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Village-mural-2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4520\" title=\"Village mural via Inside Toronto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Village-mural-2.png\" alt=\"Village of Islington mural via Inside Toronto, as seen on Art Is Everywhere\" width=\"416\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Village-mural-2.png 416w, https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Village-mural-2-300x268.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 416px) 100vw, 416px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Similar in style to these murals are ones by German-born artist Winold Reiss, who was commissioned to create mosaic murals for the <a title=\"Cincinnati Museum Organization\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cincymuseum.org\/unionterminal\/mosaics\" target=\"_blank\">Cincinnati Union Terminal<\/a>, which now houses the Omnimax Theater. It&#8217;s hard to believe that these are all mosaics &#8212; until you look closely.

an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old.
