A New Mural from the Ann Arbor Art Association Project

A beautiful mural!

Artist Jake Dwyer's mural on the Phoenix West Building in downtown Ann Arbor is still a work in progress:  a very promising one! I especially enjoyed seeing it because I worked in this building many years ago when it was very run-down and neglected (at least I think it was this building). Now it’s very lovely — especially appealing because I love birds!

And another mural in Ann Arbor, near the Farmers Market. Probably, I’ve seen this before.

    The mural is lovely and a great way to brighten up an urban space. The bird theme certainly has my stamp of approval!

    Those are lovely murals. I think the bird are gorgeous, but music is such a critical part of my life that I vote for the other as my favorite.

    Quelle merveilleuse couleurs, autant pour le bâtiment que pour cette fresque enchanteresse qui fait chanter la brique

    I love the murals in this post!

    I was born in Ann Arbor, at the University of Michigan hospital so I am excited to find your blog. But, we moved to southern California when I was only 6 weeks old so I don't really remember Ann Arbor, but I do hold a special place in my heart for it.

    And, you've got one of my favorite foods as your header photo: red and yellow raspberries!

    Looks like not just the mural, but the entire building has had a facelift. The mural is absolutely stunning and fits your love of birds to a T.

    Great color composition with that blue in blue of the birds against a kind of nightsky.

    Stunning mural and it looks great with the dark background.
    The musical mural is also quite pretty.
    Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Mae :)
