    Default Art on a Big Scale - Silos finished

    It's done! The images were painted from photos of local people and painted by a world renowned "Muralist".

    Image from Facebook site "Brim Silo Art".

    A great tourist attraction for a town (population 100) in rural Victoria, Australia.

    Beautiful and pensive........is it really canvas covered or painted right on the walls of those great silos....keepers of our food! I live in a rural area...see lots of silos and barns. A lot of barns are now wearing quilt blocks...would like to see decorated silos too.
