Nice piece of work there, and a great post.

I live it, it sure beats graffiti.
A collard festival, huh?!
I enjoyed Wifeswap, what did you think of it? I'm thinking if that was an accurate portrayal of their son, which it probably wasn't, he needs a little "laying on of hands"! LOL

I love murals, just love them. We have lots in Santa Cruz [about 20 miles away] and they just transport me. I think if I had a wall rather than a wooden fence, I'd be tempted to do likewise, although probably not at artistically.
Cheers

I LOVE murals, too! I had a muralist friend a long time ago and was fascinated by his ability to translate a desk-sized sketch into a bigger than life scale. Long live muralists for bringing us eye treats!

Ann,

I love murals on buildings. I think it gives them character, especially old building with scenes from their original era. Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you enjoyed Yates Castle.

Blessings for a great week.

That is very nice, we use to have a painting on a building down town, showing various thing going and I will be darn they painted over it.

Nice mural! Beats the old chewing tobacco ads I remember on buildings and barns years ago. It's also interesting to see that the local festivals in small towns are still going on.
