I'm taking part today in
Monday Murals hosted by Sami.
Here in my Edmonton neighbourhood there is
an Artist Run Centre called Harcourt House
containing an art gallery, artist studios, and
art education via classes and workshops.
One of its long corrugated metal walls has
a wonderful limited-palette mural
depicting the Centre's various rooms,
including a janitorial closet with
a mop and trolley bucket!
Since it's so hard to capture
the entire long mural in one photograph,
I'm posting four photos of its sections
in order from left to right.

A beautiful geometric mural.
love it!
Wonderful 🤩
Wow! That's incredible!
Sometimes the hardest thing to paint are the simple things because you always want to add more and more.
I love that simplicity in these.
It's great that the janitorial closet with a mop and trolley bucket was included!
the mural looks interesting and very unique i must say
you captured it beautifully !
i like cities where there is lot for artists to participate :)
That's great. Here we're very short of walls, but I did see outlines of a mural in progress at a local shopping center with new buildings. Flowers. We'll see how it goes. Our first local mural!
Oh that's fab! What a great idea.
That mural is spectacular! The limited palette works well. I enjoyed discovering the various elements and shapes!
Brilliant !
Love it.
Here, the city seems to be doing its best to price the artists right out of the arts district that they created.
I find those murals to be somehow delightful. They almost remind me of the illustrations Lois Lenski did in the Small books.
I couldn't figure out what the shapes on the extreme lefts side of the mural were until I read your description; they're easels, of course!
That is so cool. It must have taken a long time to get this one done.
Art Center. Well, I did recognise the easels.
I love the style, Debra.
How wonderful. I’d want to live in your neighborhood, except for the weather!
That is downright beautiful!
Love this extra long mural! How clever! Strong graphics and a limited palette convey so much. What are the little googly eyed creatures in the upper left of the last panel?
Now that's a mural to be awed by. Making straight lines is not easy in paint and the mural itself is just fun! Great post, Debra ...

How nice, Debra.
Interesting that an Art Centre would choose such a utilitarian mural. The colour palette is rather sombre, but then, maybe the neighbouring buildings are too, LOL.
very cool.
This mural is so well done
Hi Debra, I love clever! Can the person who mans that mop and bucket come over to my place?
--Jim
@ e -- Your guess is as good as mine! Gremlins?
@ Tundra Bunny -- I guess they wanted the mural to be eye-catching without being lurid.
Oh, this is fantastic!
So Meta, also!
Art is what? FUNDAMENTAL!
XOXO
@ Parnassus (Jim) -- For enough money, I'm sure s/he would moonlight!
Keeping the colours limited really has made it pop.
How unique.
Cool! I hope to visit here soon.
That is an amazing mural. I really like it! Hope it was a super Monday.
Simple, elegant and descriptive. Very nice.
I like the geometric patterns and limited colours of this mural. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Debra.
