Murals, have you seen any recently?

Do you like murals? Sami at Colourful World blog loves murals and street art (so do many other bloggers). Every Monday she has a meme called The Monday Mural where she and others can feature any mural(s) they may have seen. I always enjoy seeing the many and varied ones there are around the world, if you'd like to see some do go over to her blog and take a look.


Georgia Green painted the Life Beneath the Waves mural at Weymouth Stone Pier

Nearer to home, well in the UK 😊, a mural trail featuring work by ten different artists has been launched in a seaside town.

More than a dozen artworks, including by several Dorset artists, have been commissioned for walls and buildings in Weymouth.


Birds in the Reeds at Lodmoor by Delphine Jones can be found at Overcombe Corner

They can currently be found at nine sites, including Overcombe, Lodmoor, Nothe Gardens, South Harbourside and the town centre, a tenth is being added soon.

I have shared two of the Weymouth murals here, but you can see more at this article here and there is more to read on the Weymouth Mural Trail website here

that is so neat, yes we have a few towns around us that have murals, we have seen many on our vacations, it is amazing the things they can make at such large sizes!

I love murals - and these are beauties. Thank you.

I love when a community comes together and supports amd endorses these works of art. These are amazing, especially that set that shows past and present in one mural.

You probably know that I feature a mural every Sunday on my blog.

I always enjoy seeing Murals in towns when I pass through most are unique to a flavor of the town...

Murals do so much to brighten up areas. None here in my little, rural town.

Love murals
There is only one small mural in town. It is surprising how well the paint colors stay fresh.
