Street Art – Shop Therapy
My definition of Street Art is literally art that is visible from the street. Some is deliberate some is random. Here is a small collection of “works”
Mural Painting
Rufus Porter
Cathy & Gary Johnson have a daylily farm at 48 Mason Road, New Ipswich, NH. A circa 1800 farmhouse is located on the property which contains wall murals painted by Rufus Porter. I had the opportunity to take some photos of the murals in July of 2019.
Magical History Tour
The “Walldogs” is an internationally renowned organization of sign and mural artists. Every year The Walldogs organize a festival where hundreds of artists descend upon a village or small town to paint a series of murals in one 3-5 day festival. The tradition of painting wall advertisements dates back to the early 1800s. Evidence of this can be seen as “Ghost Signs” throughout cities of all sizes. These mural painters of old were often called Walldogs.
