The Fish

Down the street from the Y is a garage/convenience store. This is where the artists painted their second wall. They are very talented, but I just don't like these big old fish on a garage door. Hmmm, perhaps they sell live bait, there is a lot of fishing around here. I think a painting of old cars would be better. How about you?

I would prefer the painting of the fish with the bait in its mouth.

Yes, they kind of look like Franken-fish, don't they. But the folks who painted them did a wonderful job, that's for sure. ~Andrea xoxo

I guess I'm the oddball...I DO like the fish. But, then again, a scene of a 1950's mechanic, working on a car, would be good too.

Ann said...

It's very well done but not necessarily something I would like. I would be more drawn to a painting of old cars.

Rose said...

I, too, would like an old car. But I can see having these done if you like fishing...actually looks like someone likes flyfishing.

Martha said...

The art itself is great but they look kind of creepy to me.

I know what you mean but I am not into fishing. Cars would be nice but I also like to see those historical murals on walls that say something about the town's history. If this is a person's business or even hobby, then that would explain it. I do think the artist is very talented.

I agree that, if you're doing a mural for a business, the artwork should reflect the type of business in the building. Unless they've converted the garage into a bait and tackle shop it just doesn't quite fit the rest of the scenery.

An antique pickup truck with a black Lab in the back would have been perfect.

I actually like the fish. The artist is quite good.

Hi Ginny,
I like the fish Ginny, it looks like an aquarium. :-)

Yes, my mom painted the Halloween cat in my post. Thank you Ginny for visiting me.
Love, Carla

Sorry to delete those... I couldn't spell evidently.... I love the fish paintings. My grandfather would have wanted one because he loved to fish and he loved extravagant decor... I got my mug rack at Hobby Lobby... they may not have them online now but I searched for metal mug holder or rack... several came up. Mine is heavy duty and shorter... hope you find one you love!

I guess the man who painted them works in a garage - his heart is in fishing.

It is well done. I would choose flowers, but then that's just how I am.

I like them. The important thing is the business owner decides. Thanks for the pictures!

Jeanette said...

I agree! Old cars, or tools, or something garage related would be better! Unless the garage is full of fishing equipment!

Jenny the Pirate said...

I like the fish but you're right, Ginny ... classic cars would better~ xoxo

Shug said...

I would have chosen a different subject......BUT, my husband would love this. Of course, he loves fishing...

Mari said...

They are cool paintings, but I agree that old cars would be better!

I like fish art in general and that’s a gorgeous painting. Though, I prefer less realistic, more cartoonish design :-)

MadSnapper said...

I like the fish! I am thinking that maybe the person that owns that garage is a fisherman or maybe he's even the artist. He's very talented whoever painted it or she. If it were me I would put something related to cars but it's a man I'm betting and they always do what they think the most about

The Big Cat

 Not to be outdone by that upstart The Big Cow and his friends, the Big Cat bought a new Easter bonnet! It is purrrfectly lovely! And while ...
