Maritime Murals
Kelly from Maritime Mac did an article on Sussex, New Brunswick.
Turns out it’s the Mural Capital of Atlantic Canada.
It’s so great that she discovered these largely historical murals.
Click on the pic below & see the entire post on Sussex.
Kelly’s blog is filled with wonderful pics & insights about Canada’s Maritime provinces.
If you’ve ever considered visiting Canada’s Atlantic provinces, you should browse her blog.
You will also find a very interesting trip to Africa that she reports on.
Check out the carousel of mural pics to discover the name of artists, and/or historical relevance.
⭐️ Thank You Kelly! ⭐️
Queen Frida
I start with a car roof reflection of Elicsr’s wall portrait of Frida Kahlo.
Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907 – 1954) is remembered for her self-portraits, and paintings filled with bold colors & Mexican and indigenous culture .
I believe the title “Queen” comes from the idea that she is the original”Selfies Queen”. This article from “The Guardian” Frida Kahlo: feminist, selfie queen, queer icon and style muse of 2017 is very interesting.
In 2006, Frida Kahlo self-portrait, Roots, was sold for $5.62 million at Sotheby’s, NYC.

This painting is quite old for alley art. Possibly 10 years. It has survived in a heavily tagged area.
🏒GO JETS 🏒 #WPGWhiteOut
The WINNIPEG JETS are in the Western Conference final. I’ve been a fan of the “Jets” since 2014. Sherrie has me all wound up!
This mural features the “Golden Jet” Bobby Hull whose slapshot was once clocked at 152.9 km/h. He was the first player in the NHL to sign a million dollar deal.
This mural also features Sherri’s fave, Teemu Selanne, inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame
Selanne Returned to Winnipeg for game six & got a standing ovation!
Bobby Hull & others have also returned to Winnipeg in the heat of the playoffs. “It’s going to be a hell of a game” says Bobby!

Black & White Nude Beauty
Here’s another painted truss from Underpass Park.
The fact that it’s B & W highlights the effect of the sun from different positions in the underpass.
This one is painted on all 4 sides.
Even the underside is painted.
