The Wabash Walls project in Lafayette, Indiana, is a very large project, with highly varied murals on many types of structures. My sister, brother-in-law, and I walked around the Wabash neighborhood to see many of these, and I posted some while I was visiting there (here: Wabash Walls). Here are more of the photos we took that day. I wanted to share them with the mural enthusiasts at Sami's "Monday Murals."

| Wonderfully decorated warehouse! |
 |
| I wondered who these children were! |
 |
| Some houses were decorated in other ways. |
MEANWHILE, in Ann Arbor on a sunny morning, people are painting “The Rock” —
 |
The Rock is being painted in the colors of Columbia, to express solidarity with the uprising
taking place there this week. As many as 37 demonstrators have been killed, and many more injured. |

Fun photos. The Rock is a great idea. Wonder what it will be next.
ReplyDeleteLove the murals and the painted rock is a wonderful idea. Have a great day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI saw the rocking horse and forgot about any and everything else (grin). Seriously, these are wonderful. I loved the warehouse. And that rock gets a good painting when there is some reason to paint it. Fitting for Columbia!
ReplyDeleteJust saw your Mom's Day question to Erika. She lives in New Hampshire, a state that seemingly has no or very few murals (grin).
ReplyDeleteI love the one with the children
ReplyDeletequelle série magnifique. J'aime particulièrement la décoration de l'entrepot qui est vraiment réussie et originale dans un tel contexte. Je vous souhaite une excellente semaine
ReplyDeleteThe mice are amazing, and I would not mind butterflies on my wall. We've been away so I've not heard anything about the uprisings. I will have to read the news later.
ReplyDeleteThe mice and kids are my favs.
ReplyDeleteGood idea with the rock.
They are all beautiful. Cut one with the little children and doggie. Painting that rock is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely murals! I iove visiting places where there is art throughout the town!
ReplyDeleteI think that in North America we have not embraced the creative use of murals to the extent that it has been done in many other parts of the world, and more's the pity.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the painted houses, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI like the mice, although I'm scared of them, but the mural is quite well done. The butterflies and the lady in the warehouse are wonderful too.
Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Mae.
I love these walls and yards. What a sunny day of painting rocks.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful murals, specially the children.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colorful murals -- interesting to see the rock in its finished state in your later post.
ReplyDeleteWow. I don't know what to say.
ReplyDeleteProjects like this are amazing. The mice mural in particular is delicious. What a cool town to engage in the arts in such a creative way.
ReplyDeletei loooove those mice! so very cute.
