There are a few empty shops in the centre of Dumfries, but several of them have been decorated to make them less of an eyesore. This is a detail from the paintings on the front of the abandoned pet shop.
Havant Borough Council have taken to sticking huge pictures of fake shop fronts on the empty windows. They certainly make the whole place look better - although poorer!
You find such interesting things to share, Juliet! An eye for the many wonders of life, right? :) All best and thanks for the splendid bounty of your creativity. --Daisy
I could look at that for a long time! I love bunnies. Great that someone thought to do add art to the empty storefronts as I am sure it helps to discourage vandalism, plus providing happiness to passersby.
Beautiful! Do you know the artist? My sister uncovered two oil paintings of rabbits very similar to that piece, very, very similar. I'm wondering if we have seen art from the same artist?
I love it. And I like it even more for knowing no one is selling bunnies inside, although it's a shame no one is selling pet food and supplies.
ReplyDeleteLovely buns! ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a creative day!

So sorry we never got a chance to meet up!
ReplyDeleteAnd bunnygirl, there are pet food and supplies on sale just about opposite. Phew!

ReplyDeleteThat is just precious--would look even lovelier properly framed.
ReplyDeleteLove this creative way of improving an eyesore!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous picture!
ReplyDeleteThat is just gorgeous. I love it.

ReplyDeleteHi Juliet,
ReplyDeleteI love the sweet bunnies, certainly looks better seeing a painting than an empty window.
Hope that you are having a lovely week
Hugs

Whoever the painter is, he is GREAT
