The painting is the brainchild of Sligo Tidy Towns Committee, who commissioned Nik Purdy to paint W.B. Yeats, and what
a breath of fresh air it brings to the town.
Very nice indeed. I wish there were more murals in my small town, I think a piece of art like this is well worth while. I studied some of Yeats' poetry at school, and I should like to know more about him.
Hoi Bill, prachtig en levensecht dit portret.
ReplyDeleteGroet kees, fijne week gewenst.
I understand that one statue is not enough but it is indeed a refreshing portrait. Thanks for showing Bill.
ReplyDeleteNice mural. I like the mixture of colour and B&W.It looks like a photograph.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a stunning portrait on the wall.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the additional touch of what appears to be a quote next to the door.
