I like the colours, and makes that ugly column look prettier. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals. Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteI like this art event that took drab, white concrete and brought vibrance and color to the neighborhood.
DeleteI'll be truthful. I LOVE this. The colors are great and it feels like there is movement to me. maybe it's because I have gotten into abstract lately, but this is a real beauty. SO glad you shared it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it. I can understand why many people prefer art that's of a subject they can recognize, but I thought this is worth sharing too.
