Colourful

 Something different today. A downtown plot of land has been in a state of waiting to be developed for several years. Routinely boarding around the site is replaced. Recently a mural was painted by a small group of street artists on the boarding facing Bank Street. One morning in late July, I photographed it.


Here it is in whole, from across the street.

  10. That certainly brightens up a mundane scene. Lets hope the new building is as attractive if it ever appears.

  16. @Tom: considering the pace of the project, it could be awhile.

    @David: to me it does rate as street art.

    @John: I think this is the status quo for the lot for at least ten years.

  23. Fragmentando el Mural, se aprecian muy bien los detalles de la composición, de dicho Mural....hay muchas partes que demuestran la gran maestría y el arte de su autor.

    Feliz fin de semana.

  25. Interesting, I wonder if each artist was given license to exercise his or her own creativity within the scope of the work.
