Rose Reflection

Lousy taggers scribblers with no street cred, respect or chops have all but completely ruined this charming mural .

Rose #1

In the few weeks since I spotted it, all but 2 of the roses have been scribbled over. A credible tagger would tag around, beside or near the art, but not in the center’s of the mural’s focal pieces.

Rose #2

It’s a charming piece, and I have captured it the best I can without breaking your hearts the way mine was broken when I returned to photograph it.

Rose #3

Rose #4

I would have loved to include the steaming teapot, but again…..

Winnipeg –  2006 Mural of the Year.

Jill Sellers was kind enough to provide photos of this 92 x 50 ft. mural taken when it was new.

My eye is drawn to smaller detail, of which there is plenty in this stunning mural. So I have kept some of my shots, taken years later when the mural had faded.

145 Market Street – As a clothing designer, this detail is especially pleasing to me.

Although Jill Sellers was the original conceptual artist she needed help to pull this off & insists the amazing artists, who contributed a lot, be duly credited.
