Now I did a series on sculpture in my city. I like what we have in this city as far as sculpture is concerned.
Unfortunately when it comes to murals we are lacking in number and quality. With the sculpture there must have been very careful guidelines. The murals seem to lack anything that stands out and jumps at you.
I found three murals and I know there is a fourth. That's not many murals. I found the fourth mural the other day but I didn't get a photo.

| This mural is about 50 ft. long and is ceramic. This one really moves. It's on the north side of the swimming pool and I did not choose a good time to photograph it. |

| This is about 8 x 12 and was done on separate material and attached to a wall. |
 |
| This one's kind of funky and put directly on to the brick wall. |

| This one is about 12 x 24 and also put on separate material and attached to a wall. |
i like when they paint on brick. the mounted murals are pretty, too, though.
ReplyDeleteThese murals are all very different but interesting in their own way. I really like the second one.
ReplyDeleteNo one can deny your city's commitment to art.
ReplyDeleteThey remind me of the smallish town which is in the area we'd like to live. Their buildings are full of murals.. most quite well done. It's always fun to see what a good artist or several can do with an over-sized canvas.
ReplyDeleteThe second one is brilliant. It reminds me of a Lowry painting.
ReplyDeleteThese murals remind me of Sussex New Brunswick, where they are famous throughout the town for murals on buildings. I like the skaters on the pond - its always fun to see murals depicting the past history of a town too. Great Photos Red.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed a lot of murals! I love to see yours!
ReplyDeleteI've begun collecting the photos for a post.
Happy trails from cold Ontario!
Nice, Red. I should go around and take pictures of the murals they have on the walls here in Bellingham. They are interesting, too. Thanks! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the skaters, it brings around a lot of memories.
ReplyDeleteHi Red, I love the Skaters and the train..wonderful pieces of art! :)
ReplyDeleteNice murals! Don't see any of those in my little town!
ReplyDeleteI love the wall art. Your town is full of artists of all types!

Your town is great! Beautiful sculptures, beautiful murals! You need to come teach our local town a lesson. it needs a lot of help in the art department!
ReplyDeleteThe 'ghost' sculptures and murals - loving the nod to the arts!
ReplyDeleteI love murals, they bring otherwise bland walls to life. I much prefer when they're painted right onto the wall, like the train... I'm not sure why I do but I do.
