If you are a photographer, you probably know the experience of glimpsing something as you drive by and knowing you simply must go back and get a picture. This happened when I passed the New Star Market last month. I've stopped there before to take pictures of their decorated patio. Now they have some bright new murals.
An employee told me the artist was working on another mural at the end of the building. I found her cleaning up for the day.I came back on a later date to see the finished mural. It looks stunning! There's a rock cliff, some climbers, and the river in the distance.
If you drive out 55 between the interstate and Star Tannery, you'll want to take a look at this gas station/market/BBQ.
The artist is Sarah Gallahan, who also painted the anniversary mural on a hardware store in Winchester.

The owner of the New Star Market said he was inspired to add a new garden.
Wow - this Sarah is incredibly talented. To make flat surfaces look like they have so much depth. I kept looking the first mural to convince myself that the rocks in the front of the mural are not really rocks, but just painted on a flat wall. Amazing! Thanks for bringing these masterpieces to Mosaic Monday!
ReplyDeleteWe had a mural painted on the end of my work building (back in the pre c19 days!) it was fascinating to watch it being painted.
ReplyDeleteHope you are staying well.
