Art on lifeguard towers

Found on Avila Beach on the central coast of California. Have you seen art on a lifeguard tower? Come, let's trip to this beach in San Luis Obispo County. A post for #MondayMural

This week for Monday Mural I’ve got some lifeguard tower art to show you. These are from Avila Beach on California’s Central Coast.

Avila Beach is a small beach town by the San Luis Bay in San Luis County on the Central Coast of California. (Coming soon on Tipsy from the TRIP: More about the beach and the surrounding areas.)

We were on Avila Beach a few weeksΒ ago. On our first day there, as we were strolling through Front Street — the street that runs along the bay, I spotted these pieces of art on lifeguard-stations. If I remember correctly, this wasΒ the first time I was seeing paintings on these structures and so they looked unique and fresh.

And the scenes from the seaside that wereΒ painted onto them looked like the right subject for art on these towers. There were paintings of lifeguards, beach-goers, a beach, a ship, whales and even some sights from the sea floor.

The next day, when I took the kids to do what they like doing most on the beaches — playing with sand — I went close to one of the two towers I had seen the previous day. And this allowed meΒ to get a better look at the art I’d seen from afar. And yes, I did bring back some pictures.

Look at this beautiful work:

      Absolutely talented hands behind these works.
      It’s is apparently a new art project. I see a ‘2017’ below the signature.
      Let’s hope nobody mars this beautiful work.

      Thank you for coming this way, Halcyon. πŸ™‚

      They sure do and the images are so apt for the structures, aren’t they?

    Wow! Truly spectacular! That place looks so lively now. What time of the year would you suggest visiting Avila Beach?

      Hi Agnes,
      It sure is spectacular work.
      It’s on the central coast of California. So I’d say anytime in the Spring (late Spring), Summer and Fall.

      The winter storms may not be pretty. πŸ™‚

      Thank you for paying a visit to this blog. πŸ™‚

    What a clever idea to use lifeguard towers as a canvas. First I’ve ever seen. Thanks for contributing to this week’s Monday Mural.

      I think I’d like to see more art on these structures at the beach.

      Thank YOU for hosting this wonderful meme. πŸ™‚

      I also like how they made a lifeguard tower a canvas for this beautiful work. πŸ™‚
