The Painted Desert project

#81 -- Public Art -- 122 Pictures in 2022

 

This is part of a complex of murals, painted on the walls of an abandoned motel on Highway 89, north of Flagstaff, near Grey Mountain, where SantaFeFCRs & I stopped on our drive home from the scentwork trial. A little Google research revealed that a local artist/doctor had brought in a group of street artists for this project, & facilitated a dialogue with the resident Navajo community. Apparently the doctor has been doing smaller installations in the area for years, & I'll be looking for more of them the next time I drive through this area.

 

It was hard to decide which photo to choose for the category. Here is an album that shows more of this extraordinary place:
