Before I begin this post there are two important announcements:<\/p>\n

1) There are just 5 more days to vote for DC’s best undiscovered artist in the Washington Post’s contest, Real Art D.C. — until Oct, 22nd. Vote here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2) I’ll be posting two posts a week instead of three, at least temporarily — until I can get some help. I’m having to devote more of my time to Casart coverings<\/a>. We already have an updated website, which I’ve been vigilantly coordinating and just working out a few browser glitches on certain pages. I have to take over much of the marketing responsibilities while my sister, business partner and Marketing Coordinator is under watchful medical attention during her pregnancy with her third child. If anyone wants to contact me about a possible part-time job, we have to fill her position pretty quickly and looking for means to do it.<\/p>\n

I’ll be keeping Monday Mural postings and moving Kick-start-the-weekend posts from Friday to Thursday. Who says you can’t start the weekend early?! This drops Wednesday, for now, which is probably my most read day, but it may be back after the new year. It’s not for lack of material, that’s for sure, but lack of time. This will reduce my blog writing load from four posts a week, with Slipcovers for your walls<\/a> (casartblog) to three.\u00a0 Even with this, I still need to duplicate myself…. Magicians wanted.<\/p>\n

Summer is over officially but the weather is still waffling between 70+ and 60 degrees, so it feels like nature is having a hard time deciding.<\/p>\n

I thought this mini mural of a strategically-placed and painted beach crab would be perfect to recognize the end of summer. I think it’s really creative and a clever use of camouflage, using what could otherwise have been unsightly.<\/p>\n

This gorgeous Texas A&M Coastal Mural is another to say goodbye to summer — for now.<\/p>\n

And here’s one to herald in fall with all the gorgeous leaves that are starting to change color.<\/p>\n

Clicking the photo link will take you to a series of eight larger-than-life pictures of murals painted in Philadelphia, “the City of Murals.” I’m devoting a full post to this someday, I promise….but this is a good place to start for information.<\/p>\n

\"Autumn<\/a>

And where are you going to find murals of both land and sea creatures, perhaps symbolically representative, in this case, of fall and summer? There’s a mural program that was started in April of last year to help 7th Street, a somewhat downtrodden area in Dallas. These seem to add vibrancy.<\/p>\n
