As I said when I showed you murals from a previous post, there are more. I finally got out to find the murals and take some photos. They are not as good as the first murals I showed. I also was out on a very bright day so some of the photos are not that good but you're going to see them anyway.
Well, I guess you have the choice of looking at them or not!
As usual, a few cars are in the way and a cyclist photo bombed me in one photo. The one I like is the owl on the building. They used the shape of the building but otherwise it's a little rough.
These are some neat murals and your photos are not bad at all. Yes, the owl is a very cool one. The more I see of Red Deer, the more I like it.
ReplyDeleteI've lived here since 1969. It's a good little city.
DeleteYou found a nice variety of different styles! I love the owl too and the two that are covered in flowers.
ReplyDeleteThis was a project by the downtown business association.
DeleteI really liked the owl too. However, I loved seeing all the murals. They are so creative and beautiful. It must have been so much fun to look for and record them. Thank you for sharing them with all of us.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have seen them being painted. the artists are an interesting group to talk to.
DeleteWhat a wonderful collection of murals. They are all beautiful, one of my favorites is the first mural of the owl. Happy Saturday, have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few more that I will have to look for some day.
DeleteI love these! They brighten a city.
ReplyDeleteThey are meant to make the city more attractive. These are in a back alley.
DeleteThese murals are beautiful. I'm so glad you photographed them and shared them here. I love the owl, and the bicyclist photobomb.
ReplyDeleteI should have taken more time looking at the murals before I took the photos.
DeleteThe owl is VERY cool. But what do the steps say? I'm trying to make sense of them. The floral patterns and the yeti(?) alone in the mystery: is that all the same building? What a job that must have been even to paint one side. I love these murals. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I'm sure there were words on the step that were obvious but I can't make them out in the photo. I'll just have to go back.
Deletewhen you go back try viewing them from the other side of the porch. I puzzled over this one for a while. I think it says "Evolve", but I would love to know if I'm right.
DeleteYes, it says Evolve
DeleteThese are terrific, Red! Your photos are good and the colors come through nicely! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you like them. It's tough to get a photo in a narrow alley.
DeleteBahhhaaahahhaahahhaaaaaaaaa! The 'yeti' is the bicyclist photobomb! I thought for sure he was part of the picture. THat's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI took another photo and then decided it was better with the cyclist in the photo.
DeleteThat is quite a collection and with very different styles. I thought NO. 4 was a silhouette of a hunched man on the mural with the eyes watching and had to look closely to see it was an actual man on a bike! Good capture!
ReplyDeleteDifferent artist took part in this project.
DeleteCars do get in the way of low level murals.
ReplyDeleteI guess I should cut off the bottom and get rid of the cars.
DeleteI like the owl and the autumnal forest scene with the deer. I wonder what the story is about Bronson Wilson?

DeleteVery nice to see these beautiful murals. My favorite is the owl one too.
ReplyDeleteThe owl certainly caught my eye.
DeleteThe first is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteIt seems quite original to me.
DeleteI thought the cyclist was part of the mural, until you told me otherwise. Nice ones, I really like them all. :-)
ReplyDeleteI took another photo to get rid of the cyclist and then decided the photo with the cyclist was better.
Deletenashua, NH, also has quite a lot of artwork in the form of wall murals and sculptures. It was nice to see there are similar art wall projects in other locations. As for people and cars "getting in the way" it's usually unavoidable.
ReplyDeleteYou mention sculpture and I see it in many places as a project similar to the murals.
DeleteThanks for sharing these images Red. There's a lot of pent up creativity out there in the world.
ReplyDeleteThese are pretty rough but creativity doesn't have to be hi tech.
DeleteThese are wonderful. My favourite is the first.
ReplyDeleteI hear that there are more so I will have to hunt for them.
DeleteI like the owl and all the flowers...that last one was a bit strange I could not figure out if there was a word or not!
ReplyDeleteThose are fun but I really love the owl flying right at you in the first one.
ReplyDeleteYou found a lot of them at once!
ReplyDeleteThe huge owl is undoubtedly the best. Did you realise there are actually two owls?
ReplyDeleteI like to see murals, they really brighten a place up and are so accessible as an art form
Some beautiful murals. I love the floral ones.
ReplyDeletewow they are really intriguing indeed dear Red
ReplyDeletei want to thank you for snapping and sharing i enjoy looking at them a lot actually ,yes the first one is dynamically impressive but loved the sixth and floral as well .
nice idea to share murals around you and i would love to see more
