Seasons (2011)

Stroll along Lake Shore Boulevard West and let Gordon Roy's sweeping lakeside mural stop you in your tracks. A long-time Mimico resident, Roy captured the full emotional arc of the seasons — from sun-drenched summer silhouettes of the Toronto skyline to the quiet golden haze of a Long Branch sunset reflected on calm water. It's the kind of public art that makes an ordinary commute feel like a slow, contemplative walk. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
