The new mural in town reflects the COVID-19 pandemic with wildlife wearing masks to maintain social distancing. The Boomerang, the local newspaper, reported that this mural was painted on a Free Wall meaning it was not commissioned and can be changed or added to at any time. Over the course of a week, more animals were added.

By the time, I went out to photograph the mural, it contained four animals, each wearing a mask.

I don't know if more animals will be added to this mural or if the wall will be covered with something entirely different the next time I see it.
What a great mural!! Love the jackrabbit. Reminds me of the moose that Dee sees in someone's yard.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful example of "social media". I love it. The bee was especially cute.
ReplyDeleteFree walls! That's a neat idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
ReplyDeleteHow appropriate. That's a perfect example of what's happening right now. Are masks required in Laramie?

Now that is very contemporary and cool that they still added animals! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat is just amazing!!! And a very good reminder too.
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that? I love all the little animals that have been added. Can you tell if these are done in acrylics? oil? what else would be permanent? How fun to have something like this in your community.
ReplyDeleteSome one or some group is very talented!
ReplyDeleteThe mural is certainly a sign of the times. Whoever is doing this has a sense of whimsy. Very cute.
ReplyDeleteOh Nancy. Those mask murals will be gone one day. Im glad you captured them at this time in history
