Mermaids’ Mural

On By ResaIn GLaM Extra, Graffiti Art, Murals16 Comments

There are 2 cleverly inserted Mermaids in a mural at 1036 Main Street, Winnipeg.

I saw the second mermaid for the first time, as I was making this post. She’s up in the left corner, the exact opposite corner from Mermaid Blue who is in the upper right corner.

I cropped  out the Mermaid on the left, and tried to fix it. It’s not good, but I put it in the slideshow, anyway.

I saw the second one tonight for the first time. She was up in the opposite corner from Mermaid Blue.

I did a crop and tried to fix it, but it was not good so I’m not posting it.

I’m so happy I saw this one and shot pics of her. She is so very beautiful!

The brutal climate of Winnipeg has taken its toll on this stunning work of art.

Hopefully, this most awesome piece of art will be restored! As flaked as it was, it was a joy to behold!

Glory, It wasn’t sleeting!

However it was “Thanksgiving”  weekend, and the “Rocket” ran over a piece of wood with a very large nasty nail in it. Sherrie’s dad, and Poopsie rescued us.

The shutters are all painted. Unfortunately, the purlple-ish reefer smoking wolf was the only one down when we we there.

It’s a fun bit!

When I took shots of it, time had passed & it had been deteriorating. I am thrilled that Jill was kind enough to contact me & supply us with a pristine vision.

I have put my pics into a slideshow, as although not so gorgeous, represent the joy I felt upon discovering & approaching it.
