I love murals and Cincinnati has a few beauties. These are some of the finest and I thought it nice to share them with you.
Have a Great Weekend!!
Love and Liefs, Johanna

Love them all. Thank you! N.
You are welcome!
Wonderful! The birds are my favorite.
There are really beautiful and liven up that neighborhood!
These are fantastic!
Happy you like it!
What wonderful art! Tfs, Johanna! 🙂
Happy you liked it so much!
I am a lover of murals, too, but then I suppose everybody has to see the beauty in them. St. Louis, Missouri has many murals but the murals in your pictures are truly lovely! Love the trifecta of windows!
The windows are my fave too and they really make a difference in these bleak neighborhoods!
So great! I love the one with the birds!
That’s after Chalrey Harper, a famous illustrator in the fifties from Cincinnati. You will love his work. His son is ruling the business now but he has commercialized it a little too much for my taste https://charleyharperartstudio.com/
Very cool, thanks so much for the link!
Indeed, I love his style 🙂
Those really are some great murals. I especially like the first and the sixth.
🙂
I adore the strong man but first is very special indeed
I follow another blogger from Cincinnati and he too loves to show the murals of the city. They are wonderful! We have a few but none as eye catching and clever as your first one. I love the trompe l’oeil too.
They really make a difference in these bleak neighborhoods!
Great murals there. I remember listening to Rosemary Clooney in the 50s on a Cinci radio station! Thanks for the tour! Happy weekend!
She was so beautiful!! I love the Christmas movie….
So much beauty! Thank you for sharing my friend! 😄 Have a lovely weekend! xxx
Thank you!! I hope yours was great too…my goodness its already Tuesday again!!!
The first one and the third to last one I want on the side of my house!
You must have a big house ;o) but I am happy you enjoyed it!
Wow! Such variety! I especially like the first one and the third one with the birds! ❤🐦💙

Thank you for sharing this with me, Johanna! 😄 I like how they say he used humor in his approach to his (bird) art. I will have to research him further. 🐦
Wonderful – absolutely love them all but the first three are my favorites. 🙂
I am so glad you enjoyed it!!
Wonderful, thanks for sharing Johanna. (K)
You are so welcome!
What unbelievable art work! Love the birds (Charlie Harper?)

They’re all interesting. Thank you.
You are welcome!
I love that first one!! What a nice lot of public art you have there. It’s always nice to see a good mural, mostly because they are often a surprise–and then a pleasure each time you see them again.
They make such a change in those bleak neighborhoods!! Every city I go to, I am on the look out for street art! Happy you enjoyed it!
Lovely, absolutely!
Thank you!
Nice!
Oh wow! I had to double check the 3 people in their windows a few times. Hard to believe they’re not real people!!
They are my favorite and they are painted on such a grubby building, that makes it even more lovely!
These are really cool! The talent on display is so impressive and this is such a way to add interest and bright beauty to old facades. Good for Cincinnati!
These are done in really bleak neighborhoods indeed. I marvel on the scale these are made.
Thanks for sharing! Love the Rosemary Clooney tribute. Cincin city bravo.
How can one not love Rosemary, she was so beautiful and talented…kindred spirits!!
What a great way to brighten up some otherwise dull facades – they must make people smile every time they walk past.
Absolutely, they liven up those bleak neighborhoods!!
I was smiling as I scrolled through these images. Wonderful!!
Happy you enjoyed it!
These are so good, Johanna!
I am glad you love it!
I love street art. It makes me happy that there are people who are so talented.
Its amazing to work on such large scales!!
Yes, I absolutely admire the artists.
I love that!
I happy you did!!
Those are great! You have a lot of them in your city.
And these are just a few of many more!
These are fantastic!! I especially like the one of them all looking out the windows – that is so clever!! And I like the one of the man taking his hat off. I really like murals too, we have quite a lot around here, but I especially like these because they have the illusion of reality which makes them extra fun and interesting 🙂
I am happy ou enjoyed it!
I love murals, too, and what a fine collection you’ve shown here. A suburb of San Jose known as Willow Glen has been adding murals over the past two years. They’re delightful.
Kindred spirits Alys!
Yes! 😉
Hey, what a fab time to arrive, I see you and Alys having a nice visit here too.
Hello, hello Johanna 😀 These are all just fantastic. The very first one had me thinking, “wow ! cool!” . But each one got better and better. I was just telling a friend about one I spotted recently in downtown Edmonton. I really much take a pic and share it….it’s aqua! LOL x Boomdee
Wow Johanna! You know I enjoy murals too, and these are wonderful! Thanks for sharing! 👍
I am hapy you enjoyed my Cincy posts so much!
Wow! I’ve never been there~ these murals are just fantastic, aren’t they? I’m so glad you shared them. Thank you!
I also love street art. It really does brighten the place up!
Hi J, Missing your postings. Hope you’re well. Cheerio, J. 💖🙋
Aloha J, thank you. I know its been a while but after a few years of unemployment, I landed a job at the library again: woohoo. But its very busy and a lot to process, I love it but blogging is neglected atm. Xo J
Wow! Hadn’t realised you were a librarian. Guess I should read About pages more often! Lol. 🤗 I’m happy for you. But I’m not happy for us. I do hope we’ll see more of your so wonderfully friendly and creative postings, when there is time. Cheeri-pip! 💖🎈👌
It’s great to see these talents put into use on what would otherwise be just another empty wall. So much skill.
Really nice murals again, Johanna! 🙂
I read from the comments, that you started working in library again. I remember you mentioned once that you used to work in libraries before and still would like to do it. It’s so nice that you are back in that field and I hope you are happy there. Must mention that we are colleagues now. 😀
And though I also miss your great posts, I understand that you are busy.
Good luck! 🙂
hello Johanna, I’ve finally found some time to make some visits on WP, and just stopped by to say hello.
I see in the comments that you are once again working in a library. I understand the challenge of work and blogging …. I just hope you somehow can find moments to keep creating those wonderful drawings.
Hi Johanna, I’ve missed your posts, and our chats. Glad to see you are busy at an important job — I too am working too hard to blog!! Love and hugs, and Happy Canada Day to an honourary Canadian. 🙂
Hi Anne, great o hear form you! Love my new job. Lots of training to do, but passed all test with flying colors. Aaaand I am doing collections for toddler story times and teacher collections now. Having my nose in kids books all day…life is bliss…and busy. Cheers And enjoy your summer! xoxo
This sounds wonderful. Miss your posts but it’s so good to hear you are busy and happy in your new job.
