Color Carnival: Yosemite Sam

Click to biggify!

While on vacation and looking for an apple farm in the quiet farming community of Velarde, New Mexico, along the banks of the Rio Grande, we came across this beautiful wall, each section with a different cartoon character and graffiti name. It was quite a contrast the the surrounding greenery, and very well done. I would have liked to have known about its origin. Yosemite Sam was my favorite panel.

Martha said...: How cool. I love to see the "mural art" on the buildings in Philadelphia, the talent is able to be appreciated rather than considered vandalization; August 8, 2009 at 3:54 PM

Dana and Daisy said...: you are having no problem at all finding lots of color for these posts! bravo!

I've been a little absentee on blog surfing lately myself. But life has been full and so, blogging must sometimes wait.

Good to hear from you!
