This is the first mural by Nick Sweetman that I came across. This vacant lot used to be a gas station and they are developing a condo in this spot. The developers have to wait several years before construction can begin. In the meantime there is a garden on the site and Nick's artwork is attached to the fence.

June 2016 and this was the first time I saw Nick Sweetman in person. Obviously I couldn't chat with him because he was on the scissor lift ! This mural with a bee took him about 10 days to finish. It was put together with help from StartArt and it was to recognize Toronto as a Bee City.
