Now, Some Surf and Underwater Murals

Trash containers with art on them. Check. Now, let’s look at some sea murals, also from Morro Bay, California.

Morro Bay on the state’s Central Coast seemed to have quite a bit of public art but I got to see only a portion of it. During our weekend there, we spent one morning doing a leisurely walk through Embarcadero. That was when I spotted those trash receptacles (the ones you saw in the previous MondayMural post). During that stroll, I also saw these surf and underwater murals on some store and restaurant walls.

Under-the-Sea Murals

Look at this stuff. Isn’t it neat?

This very-attractive mural of a mermaid probably gliding to the top didn’t bear the name of an artist. But I did come across some online pictures of the mural. They were photographs taken while the mural was in the process of being painted and I saw that it was a ‘group effort.’

On Embarcadero, we also saw a painting of a mermaid and a sea horse. It was on one of those boards that have a little space cut out so that you can put your face through it. I wonder what they are called.

(The minute we spotted it, the little ones had to go stick their faces in there and demand a few clicks. :D)

Further down the road, I came across these sea-and-surf murals. These aren’t bad either, are they?

Talking of surf, I also spotted this little art work just outside a what must have been a surfboard store.
