Just a simple wall painting with no credit for the artist. I took this photo on January 6, 2012 and I'm glad I did. It has since been painted over. It's a recently renovated restaurant and I am assuming that the mural did not fit in with the new owners decor. I'm linking to Monday Mural.
What a shame to paint over that! So glad you captured it first...I would love to be able to do this on my wall on my deck! As it is, I have to resort to hanging other's work on that wall! THis is great!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why it's been painted over? It's quite a nice painting. I am guessing there is a wine store in the area. :)
ReplyDeleteI still have trouble with anyone painting over bricks.
ReplyDeleteYes, pity this nice wine mural was painted over; but undersandable if the new establishment wants a break from the previous business. Such is corporate branding.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the new owner didn't have a liquor license. Or was just plain stupid. Nice you preserved the mural in a photograph.
ReplyDeletePerhaps they will replace with something else creative?
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the down sides of art on the street--that it can disappear over night. People have different ideas of who owns the "canvas". Maybe the new restaurant will decided it needs a little wall art to draw the eye. Let us know what happens. In the meantime, thanks for participating in this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteGreat advertising! :)
ReplyDeleteI guess new owners means a new look!
