Quinn Henderson doesn't have a name for the mural he's painting on the side of Van Gogh's Ear in Downtown Guelph.

He'd rather let people interpret the work itself, he said Tuesday as he worked on the black, white and grey piece of a female glancing in the direction away from the street.

Henderson, "born and raised" in Guelph, has done several other murals for downtown businesses, including Brothers Brewing and Dstrct, the live music venue that operates above Van Gogh's and has supported Henderson and his work on several occasions.

Henderson is also an apprentice tattoo artist at a shop in Hanover.

His latest work can be seen on the side of the building on the southwest corner of the Macdonell Street/Wyndham Street intersection.
