This week, our city had their annual wall art festival. Each fall, they choose a couple buildings for local artists to decorate. This is now on the YMCA. I got there in time to see the artists still hard at work! It can be dangerous!
Now on to the bigger front wall.
They also painted a big garage door at the gas station in the next block. I did not like that painting at all! I will show you in my next post.

art comes to them!”

I like the idea of holding annual wall art festival. Beautiful wall art. The artists are so talented.
Are those permanent paints, Ginny? If so the building owners are mighty trusting... but the result could be a delightfully decorated city after awhile. Can't wait to see tomorrow! ~Andrea xoxo
How very pretty Ginny. I love these murals!
I really admire this type of artists... they are really creative!
These are both wonderful paintings. Very talented artists.
Beautiful. So well done, both of them.
Oh I love these!! Salem, MA, which I drive through on my way to and from work has a great many of these murals. They are so interesting. They make the commute better.
Great! It's incredible to complete such big paintings without distortion.
I am amazed at the talents some people have. These are beautiful and well thought out.
I love this idea but you sure have me curious about what we will see tomorrow!
I love murals...and love that there are more and more of them.
A P&S camera is just that...a Point & Shoot...just little handheld camera...can operate with one hand easily.
The murals are pretty cool - do they do this every year? Do they paint over the old ones or somehow remove the old paint?
I really like this wall art.
Interesting quote. I think there is a lot of truth to it.
Amazing artists that can use their skills on such a large scale.

Very talented people.
Amazing talent. :-)
What a wonderful idea. We have murals here also and I think it's great that art is indeed brought to us.
Very cool! There are some talented people out there!
These are great. What a fun out of doors activity to enjoy. When I travel I'm always on the lookout for outdoor murals.
They are not only talented, that's an enormous amount of work!
Wow those are amazing. I'm so glad you were able to get shots of the artist as they worked. - Funny that my post is about art today too.
I love outdoor art! xoxo
The last painting is really beautiful and very appropriate to have on the YMCA. I'm wondering why they put the peacocks on the YMCA. But they are absolutely beautiful. I had started a collection of murals because they've added a few downtown but the first one we took we were riding big and we haven't been back since then
