Murals in Daydreaming on the Porch

I love murals on buildings in towns and cities and really enjoy photographing them. Charleston has not had many, if any, of these most striking examples of street art. But lately, they seem to be cropping up everywhere downtown. This is public art in the literal sense and, at its best, when done well. These murals have been quite exceptional, if a bit eccentric and odd. The mural after the Renoir painting is very clever and beautiful. It’s on Queen Street downtown. The others are on East Bay. Quite a visual feast of late.

The seated figure kind of reminds me of Charles Bronson.

Wonderful. I love those murals, and all of them I find I photograph also. Not my memory of the old, 1970s, city of yours...but amusing and cheerful to see, and such informed artists.
