Yesterday in Berkeley Springs

It rained yesterday, but we were going on a studio tour so it didn't matter. We needed rain anyway.

I saw several murals and this one was my favorite!


The artist created a trompe l'oeil image of a covered bridge with a hitchhiking bear. Step in closer and you see that he built a recessed wall inside the garage door opening and painted in framing and a floor with a scene in the center. 

This is behind the Heath Studio Gallery so I assume Mr. Heath was the artist. Many of his paintings are humorous.

Mosaic Monday, Random-osity, and Monday Murals.
I drove out to the viewpoint called Prospect Peak. As you can see, the foliage is turning autumnal there.

I posted a winter view from this point in 2013.

    Linda - what an effective mural - I thought it was the real deal until I looked closer at the bear! LOL! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday, my friend!

    The mural looked looks like the real thing. It brought to mind the movie "Bridges of Madison county". Thanks for participating

    Absolutely incredible mural. The artist (Mr. Heath?) was extremely clever. What a great way to cover your garage and door.

    That is very realistic, I love that mural. I hope that bear doesn't catch a ride soon he looks kind of cute there!

    I like the mural too. It makes me think of the "tunnels" that the cartoon character Wile E. Coyote painted.
