Another mural

Blair Arcade again! The artistic technique for this mural is quite different from the other ones that I have posted in the past. Click here to refresh your memory. I just started to experiment with Flikr so I hope this works!

Today in Minnesota History: 1842-Flour magnate Charles A. Pillsbury is born in New Hampshire. Moving to Minneapolis in 1869, he would learn the flour-milling business and help introduce roller mills that could crush Minnesota's spring wheat into high-grade bread flour. Upon his death in 1899, the Pillsbury-Washburn Flour Mills Company would be the largest in the world. (Reference: MNHS:ORG)

    Kate, I'm not sure if I left a comment here or not (the moderation doesn't let me see). I wanted to tell you that I enjoy seeing your blog and comments everywhere. I don't leave comments on each and every one, but wanted you to know that I'm lurking about.

    I'm amazed by all of the murals! This one is very nice, though. I love the boxes of color, makes everything stand out well.

    Yes, it looks much more modern, this mural. The Blair Arcade is a very artfilled space! I don't think Little Rock has anything like it.

    Looks great. I really like the color blocks - they add definition to an interesting scene.
