A wall was painted for a scene in a movie. After the scene was shot, the wall was painted over. I knew from the first piece, that something was off. Let me know which one you thought was fake in comments. Answer at end of post.

They shot a movie once, in my hometown Everybody was in it, from miles around Out at the speedway, some kind of Elvis thing Well, I ain't no movie star But I can get behind anything.
Several years ago I thought I saw John Lennon’s face painted in a doorway, as the streetcar I rode trundled by at full throttle.
Making a mental note of the area, I vowed to return and find it. Since, I have been in the area quite a few times, but could never find it.
One day last week was the last time I would search for it, having come to believe I dreamt it. Suddenly it was there, obvious for all to see and almost exactly where I thought it would be. Why hadn’t I seen it all those other times?
Thrilled to the point of growing an extra toe, I blathered the whole experience in the first comment I made when back on WP. The victim was Trent from Trent’s World, and I asked him to pick a song.
Trent’s reply the next day:
“Hmm, my first thought was Instant Karma, but I just went back and listened to a few and I think it has to be Mind Games”.
“Even when it was released, it was deemed nostalgic, a feeling that comes across even stronger now. And it has all of the classic Lennon philosophies about peace, love and being positive – “YES is the answer” with that it’s up to the individual to change the world philosophy. “
“Part of the nostalgia is that it has an almost Beatles feel to it while being 100% a Lennon solo work – almost like those two songs from The Beatles Anthology in the 1990s that were Lennon demos finished by the other three, only this is 100 times better. “
“It is also odd (to me) that it is a super simple song musically – the music is just the road John’s ideas ride on to get to their destination. Anyway, “Mind Games” is my pick “

Thinking about it today, the song is amazingly perfect. After all, the painting had been playing mind games with me for years. I actually came to believe I’d dreamt it. Maybe John is laughing?
Dan Anton at No Facilitieshas an annual creative Doors Challenge. It starts with bloggers submitting door photos. Then we are challenged to pick a door and create.
Hosted by Dan Anton, the Fourth Annual Thursday Doors Writing Challenge began on May 1st. and runs the entire month of May.
You pick one of the submitted door photos, and write to it. I chose the image above, by Teagan R. Geneviene.
I’m not a writer, but Dan said he was open to whatever creative inspiration I came up with . I decided on a triple crown event.
One, make a Barbie Art Gown to go with Teagan’s image. Art Gowns are always made from textile trash, old clothes, curtains, NOS and anything headed for landfill. They are completely sewn by hand.
Two, photography – a fashion shoot of said Art Gown.
Three, writing. “Art Remembers Us”.
I came up with this phrase during an interview on a Tea, Toast and Trivia podcast. The host, Rebecca Budd asked me – Why is art important? I answered – Because “art remembers us”. As far as I know, it’s original.

Cheers & thank you’s to Dan for creating and hosting this fab event!
