A Long Mural and a Show of Barns

First, the mural: This is along the back wall of Wegman's near Leesburg. Apparently the supermarket chain likes to show a painting of local places along the back wall. (See my December post showing their Gainesville mural.) It's easy to miss the mural because a toy train steals the show!
Monday Murals and Mosaic Monday.

Speaking of shows, I have two photos in a local show, "Barns of Shenandoah County." It is at Muse Vineyards this month, which is at the foot of Hollingsworth Road near Woodstock, VA.

To reach the vineyard, you travel down a narrow road and cross the Shenandoah River. It is near the new state park, still under construction.





Volunteer David Place had the idea of placing my photos next to Dawn's large prints which have similar colors. Mine are 11x14" but they look small on the wall. I had metal prints done because I have admired ones that I've seen in shows.

  3. Hello, love the mural. I think the Wegman's by us took down their train, years ago. The art work is lovely.
    Enjoy your day and I wish you a happy new week!

  6. How wonderful to have your photos on display. They are lovely! I enjoy our Wegmans. There is one 15 minutes away that we are getting ready to go to. It is our main supermarket. There are ones closer but this is our favorite. Trader Joe's also has painted local scenes on their walls. I have always enjoyed them.

  11. I'm trying to remember if there was a mural near the train in the Wegman's I've shopped at, in Fairfax. You are making me take another look at a lot of places with murals that are easy to ignore.

  12. Linda - how wonderful that a supermarket chain focuses on art such as murals, not to mention a train!

    So glad you take the time to link to Mosaic Monday!
