Mom and I went on a cruise from Montreal to Boston. I am finally getting the pics organized...but wanted to share these.
First is a 3-dimensional wall painted by 12 artists in 2 weeks. One of them put a cat in the upper dormer window, so of course I focussed on that.
The next several are of "Furry Murray", my cousins' Aby. He is a one-woman cat, and was kind of grumpy...but let me pat him!
Just one more!
Wow, that's a beautiful painting - wish they'd paint like that on Copenhagen walls, instead of all the grafitti! Furry Murray is a gorgeous boy! :)
I had to look twice at that first one.. That IS a painting? What a great job and the cat in the window looks so real!!
Furry Murray is quite an Owesome Orangie , and its hard to believe that such a Handsome Fellow can be grumpy!!
:cool::cool:
And that painting of the Cat is so realistic, I would leave a bowl of food out for him!
:):)
Love the pictures - thanks for sharing.
That mural is fantastic - wonder how long it took to paint.
Murray is beautiful :)
Beautiful painting and Furry Murray sure is a handsome Aby.:)
What beautiful cats, both the painted and the real one!
What building is that in Boston? What a gorgeous mural.
That building is in Quebec City!
Grace, our tour guide (Robert, whose mustached face you see right up front) told us it took 12 artists two weeks to paint.
There are 3D painters around the world who do this on buildings...some of them are amazing!
Oh my what a fantastic wall mural! And I am so glad you got a close up of the cat. They sure got THAT right - the tail and all is OUTSIDE! The owner is inside in a total panic, being as the cat is up so high, lol.
Murray looks so good, I wanted to reach through and stroke his lovely golden coat. Nice pics!
Wow! What a fantastic work of art! My kudos to the artists of Quebec and the people who provided the building(s) it was painted on.Quote:

Amazing!
All that is a painting on an all-flat surface!
Here's a link to it (you can see how tiny the kitty is at the top...but Mom picked it out! :D )

(That first word means "amazing," according to Yahoo! Babel Fish, not "stupid" or something like that. :))
Thanks for the link, Candace.
