Local muralist Allison G. has been working on an almost block-long mural on the side of a Shoppers Drug Mart on Fourth Street.
It has taken about three weeks for the Long Branch artist sometimes working through the elements to finish the project that was sponsored by the Lakeshore Village BIA.
“This is the largest work that I have done,” Allison said during a break on a sunny day. “People seem to like the work as they walk by.”
The huge work took about 1,000 cans of paint to create.
She estimates it took about 1,000 cans of paint to create the huge work or art, that runs from Lake Shore Blvd. W., north to a laneway.
The wall before was previously covered with graffiti and other innuendo.
The massive artwork seems to depict the lake, with a bike path and cyclist and a lot of nature.
