Sulphur Springs Mural


This mural on a brick wall in downtown Sulphur Springs, Texas, commemorates a longhorn cattle drive.  You might be able to tell this photo was taken last fall.

this might be my favorite. i love all things Western and a cattle drive is a big part of my old west fetish.

Well done. It amazes me that some artists can paint so well on rough surfaces.

Yes, the drive is captured wonderfully here. But I hate ya, I know... strong word) those that paint red brick over with white.

I like the mural and that splash of color adds to the whole scene.

This mural also very exceptional! I like it so much.

And the touch of vivid autumn colors made the whole setting is so beautiful!

How beautiful! And what a perfect place for that colorful bush. Now if only the advertising sign could be removed.

That reminds me of one I saw a few years ago when I was driving to Bisbee.

That's a cool mural. I haven't been to Sulphur Springs in a long time. When my kids were younger we would make special trips to shop at the outlet mall. Gosh that was ages ago. Never went downtown though.
