Dear friends,

I'm not able to post pictures on the forum. Jenny has excellent equipment andknow-how, so I occasionally ask her to post them for me.

In this case of all of those huge murals, such as the one inside a passageway in

a building that shows a towel hanging by a door and an elderly man inside serving at a bar, all have been done on contract, to beautify bare walls or to make something ugly and plain into something beautiful that gives life to the surroundings.

Notice the pipes across the top of one picture in which the walls are blank and

white. Then look for those same pipes again and you will see them in exactly the same position in what appears to be completely different surroundings.

It is the very same narrow passageway and the picture was taken while standing in exactly the same place but a skilled artist painted a mural on the wall to make the place more friendly and interesting.

This is the reason for all of the paintings. Jenny didn't post all of the pictures I sent to her. For instance, in another picture you will see a man on a ladder working on a design on the side of a building. He has just begun to rough out the design he will paint. I also sent a photograph of that building in its original state. It was a very blank, damaged and ugly outdoor wall. If you look

carefully you will see a wonderful building against a blue sky with a

roof that comes to a point and sculptures set into the building. It is a wonderful building. It is a mural on the ugly white blank wall! I wish you could see

the original ugly wall and the finished mural side by side. It is almost unbelievable until you notice a little white porch on the left side of the ugly building. The same little roofed porch is in the same place on the beautiful building with the sculptures, against the blue sky.

The same is the case for the entrance archway to the town. It is all mural. It

is not reality. Isn't that hard to believe?

Someone asked what the reason is for these paintings. The reason for these murals is for the charm and beauty they provide in an ugly place, and to warm up areas for humans to feel comfortable there.

The paintings on trucks -- Did Jenny send those? Are for fun, and also to

help you to remember the companies that own the trucks and some of their products. It is also so that all trucks don't look alike. Probably the drivers feel more individual and proud as they drive these beautifully and wittily painted trucks.

Muralists in the U.S. painted the trucks and the buildings. Muralists are professionals who are paid for their efforts.

Friendly good wishes, Mary
