Looking Up

This is a cool mural for a column under a highway bypass. It also reminds me by this giraffe and it’s long neck that fortunately, business is growing and looking up….Be sure to notice the unexpected details while driving.

While mentioning column murals under highway bypasses, here’s an under-bypass mural that looks local but I haven’t seen it (and don’t have any source information)

Here are a a couple more highway murals that have grabbed my attention — many from the Tuscon Mural Project.

…And one in London painted like an small cottage town on the side of the railway. Seems like London’s underpasses may be smaller than ours?

This one is so realistic that it could possibly cause an accident — someone might drive right through it expecting to pay a toll.

Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
