Murals on buildings in Tucson
Apr 18, 2020 19:46:27 #
After staying in the house for a month due to the virus, we had a bad case of cabin fever and got in the car and went in search of some of the numerous murals decorating buildings in Tucson, AZ. Most of them did not require us to even get out of the car but the times we did there was no one around. We live well outside of downtown Tucson and seldom go there because of the difficulty of finding parking space but today we had no problem. This is just a small sampling of what Tucson has to offer and we will be going on another mural search soon. A confession though - because the murals are subject to the intense Tucson sun and have some fading, I have added a little saturation to show them as they were originally. I also have to admit that I can't figure out the meaning of the whales flying over the desert but it is the largest of the murals at about 150 feet long.

Thanks for sharing your capture of Mural Art in Tucson. When I was in Tucson last year, never saw them.

I live in Tucson and have only seen half of the murals pictured. This is a good town for public art.

Great captures of this beautiful art. IMO the whales over the desert depicts that the earth was completely covered in water.

I did the same this winter while staying in Green Valley. The murals of Tucson are outstanding IMO. I see I missed the whale and owl murals. There are a lot of them and so fun to capture. Yours are great !!

It makes me wonder if they were all done by the same person. It would be nice if the street artist would sign their names to their work.
