  Winnipeg has many murals honoring veterans.
  I posted a ginormous piece last year, also on a Legion.

  There’s a lot of “realistic” style murals in Winnipeg. They have a fabulous murals program there!

Wonderful post Resa, love the blue approach, gives a very historic feel to it which is just what it suppose to do! Lovely tribute indeed!

This one is my favourite for today,
the brilliance of each painted subject
not only stands out from the crowd
but it depicts such an unforgettable
theme. No, we will never forget those
that stood in the face of danger, died
so that our freedom could be enjoyed
and to make the world a safer place
in which to live. Life still throws us all
a brush from the past from time to time
but without the bravery of these men
and women our world would be a much
scarier environment.

Thank you for sharing this marvellous
example of artistic graffiti with us Resa 🙂
