Surprise! Surprise! They have murals in Michigan. I found this one, and two others that will be shown at a later date, on the basement wall of an excavated building. The economy prevented the developers from proceeding with their plans. So, some artist, vacationing from Fort Lauderdale no doubt, made use of the space. This one has a strange feel to it. Certainly not palm trees and flamingos that you are used to seeing here. At any rate, murals are alive and well in Harbor Springs.

ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL

Yes, definitely a strange feeling to it...
ReplyDeleteAre the walls really swirls of purple?
Wow~
Yes, definitely different!
~Stopping by to say HI! Happy Summer!

Now I know for sure. You're the artist.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice blackboard to go with the school desk in Versailles!
They follow you everywhere, don't they. (Whoever 'they' are).
ReplyDeleteStrange in what way? Weird? Scary? Unique?
There's those D#@*ed questions again. I here to help. MB
It look like a chalk work, is it? Is very interesting and mysterious!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you've found more murals! Hope you're having a good time in the mitten state.
ReplyDeleteTo me it looks like an old photo,and one of the men look perhaps a bit like Edvard Munch?
ReplyDeleteI love the way this artist has made a wall his canvas. Excellent capture, B Squared.
ReplyDeleteWho'd-a thunk it? Murals in Michigan! I can see you're feeling right at home.
ReplyDeleteB2, it is definitely of the north in feel and reminds me of Wisconsin Death Trip. I never thought I would hear myself says this, but "bring back the flamingos!"
ReplyDeleteLast time I saw many many wild roses was at Sleeping Bear.
We were supposed to be on Lake Michigan for two weeks starting last Saturday. A very wicked storm (the one that blew out windows on the Sears Tower Friday evening) blew through here and electricity is still not back in Harbert........
Amazing what you find when you're out and about!
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought it was a chalkboard. I'm pretty sure they're humans but they do have a strange feel. A bit of twilight zone in the mural :D
ReplyDeleteoddly interesting ... its as if a painting is evolving ...
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely starting to think you have something to do with all these murals.
ReplyDeleteConservative street artists out your way.
ReplyDeleteAH, welcome to Michigan!!! I hope it's cooler there than here.
ReplyDeleteWe're supposed to get hail tomorrow.
Next week, we are headed up your way--to Whitehall to drop the kid at Blue Lake then points north.
Actually,w e don't know where we're going, as our plans got scrapped--any ideas?
If there's a mural around, you'll find it! This appears to be a weird family portrait. I mean a portrait of a weird family. Either way.
ReplyDeleteNot like the ones you found in Florida, but always much better than our average mural!
ReplyDeleteI vote for Fort Lauderdale artists and their colorful murals. Besides, the one man reminds me of Lenin.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear the REST of the story.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a lot like Hitler in handcuffs. Weirdly intriguing..
ReplyDeleteIt sure has a different flavor.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting mural. I wonder how big it is compared to the wall it's on.
ReplyDeletehee hee...
ReplyDeleteFt. Lauderdale must have followed you to Michigan...
