Was reading about St. Hubert, and ran across this, "The Vision of St. Hubert", by J. Brueghel and P. P. Rubens:

Shouldn't that be vision of the dogs? 3 dogs and Hubie are seeing it, the buck, horse and the rest of the mutts aren't.

Speaking of vision...

These two artists create scenes that leave you in anxious anticipation.

Those are great, not something you'd hang in a doctors waiting room or where people are waiting in line.

This building is across the street from a guy I know. He was watching the guy who did the mural, and could tell from the way he moved he was an older guy. When my buddy saw him sitting on the tailgate of his truck, he went to talk to him.

Get this: This guy is a retired painter/sign man, and he travels around the country in his retirement doing this to ugly buildings. Beautifying ugly buildings he happens across. For material costs. He doesn't make a dime. That fella's a rarity, I'm a-thinking.

My buddy said he got the impression the old guy was pretty eccentric.

My house is ugly.

Did you happen to get his number?

Gravdigr 05-14-2016 10:13 AM

I'd love to have that on my house.

Inspired by Gravdigr's post #68, I did a search for a mural depicting a railway locomotive painted on the gable end of a row of terraced houses in Swindon, Wiltshire, home of the Great Western Railway.
Unfortunately, the work I had in mind couldn't be found but I think that this is a worthy substitute.

Art? Definitely!

Gravdigr 07-30-2016 01:13 PM

Absolutely. And fairly cool, too.
