Artist: Aaron Forsyth / Eronone

Artist Statement:

My piece shows a day in the life of someone taking in all that downtown Kingston has to offer. It starts with someone waking up at home, a picture on the wall representing family, and a dog in the foreground, a pet, making the house a home. The sun is shining in and the person sets off on their day downtown. Relatable activities from pickle ball to football can be seen and a hand holding a tote full of fresh groceries. Birds and the trees, nature, a nod to all of our beautiful parks and green spaces in the downtown area. A hand holding a bouquet of flowers could be passed on as a gift for an occasion, a celebration - balloons. Everyday is somebody’s birthday and the city itself is to be celebrated! A hand holding a book to represent a new purchase, a trip to the library or even studying. The piece ends on the right hand side with road from City Hall leading all the way to the Rideau Heights area, to represent the transportation the bus system provides and to include the city’s inhabitants all the way to our North end. I believe that there are many elements in this mural that people will relate to on their daily commutes downtown and through the city and the colourful busy design leads viewers from start to finish with something new to see wit each glance. My hope is this mural brightens the viewers day and the Robert Bruce Parking Garage itself.
