What's going on? Why is that road closed? What's that cherry picker equipment doing in the road? Who's that guy with the hard hat?
Our small town is getting a new mural covering up some ancient walls. Lots of older buildings in the downtown area that could do with a facelift and this is a great idea. This is the second large scale mural in town, the first one is here, although that photo was when the work was unfinished. I'll have to take another photo.
Painted by local talented artist Colin Whitebread, the mural is bright and full of fun.
No doubt there will be grumbles about the waste of town money, but I think it's great! This is painted on the wall opposite the entrance to the Funeral Home. I hope it will bring some cheer to the mourners.
...bright and full of fun is worth the price.

This is beautiful. Bright and bold and a wonderful counterpoint to a funeral home.
ReplyDeleteBright and fun are the perfect words. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat's great. There are usually quite a few here too. There's an international selection, and artists come to fill our streets and facades with murals and color.
ReplyDeleteBest regards.
Murals are a great way to enhance an urban setting. I have no doubt that they contribute to the wellbeing of the residents. As for people complaining, there are those who even complain in their dreams! As the old aphorism says, “You can’t please all of the people all of the time.”
