Photo of the Day: Mural

A local artist did this Mural I’m thinking in the 1860’s or 70’s for St Anne’s Church which was founded in 1856! I just love the art work in this, the pictures come to life even nearly a century and a half later!

I love murals especially depicting various themes about life, cultures and traditions of a community.

It is in really good condition! It’s really cool, when the Church is open again I’ll have to get some more pics!

It's amazing to see a mural that is so old! I'm wondering if the paint has been retouched because it still looks very bright and colorful.

I believe it was retouched once, after smoke from a local fire caused damage to it, the Church was spared because it’s brick!

I definitely agree! The vividness of the colors really brings the painting to life.
