Costumed Ingénues Beautify Commute - Calgary, AB - Artistically Decorated Utility Boxes on Waymarking.com

The main colours on this box are almond, blue, and white. On the side of the box that faces the road, a woman with black hair and a dress or blouse with blue polka dots looks thoughtfully at the traffic passing by. On the back of the box, facing away from the road, we see the head and bust of a woman whose blue hair in a vaguely Victorian up-do. The sides of the box show the same very stylized image of a dress with a red bow at the neck.

This box is on the SW corner of the intersection of Richmond Road SW and Stewart Green SW. (Because Stewart Green is U-shaped, there are two places where Stewart Green intersects Richmond Rd; this is easternmost of the two intersections.) It is very close to the Westhills Shopping Centre sign, and not far from the CIBC.

This art is unusual for its apparent use of various stamps and stencils to create patterns as part of the images. A signature stamp on the bottom corner of one side reads "karenklassen.com" but no painted utility boxes are shown on the artist's website.

This is one of two painted utility boxes created by the artist on Stewart Green SW; the other, also by Karen Klassen, is at the west end of the same block.

Name of Artist: Karen Klassen Year Decorated: 2011 Title of the Art: Not listed
