Monday Mural: Thornhill Pet Hospital

Thornhill Drive follows a canyon carved by a creek running down from the hills.  It is characterized by steep, wooded, narrow streets.  Just east of the Warren Freeway, Thornhill has a small cluster of businesses and a church.  On the wall of the local pet hospital is a mural done in 1997 by Stefen.  It is still bright, cheerful and fun to look at.  Don't forget to notice the parrot above the left door.

If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme's for you.  Just follow the Linky steps below.  You decide what constitutes a mural.  Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters.  Looking forward to the murals posted this week.  Once you start looking, it's amazing how many you can find

  1. Kudos to the owner of this pet hospital for having this mural done. It surely is very enticing and a friendly welcome sign to the pet owners.

    Carol, I have a lot of photos of murals taken from 2009,but never paid attention to the artist. Since joining this meme, I have taken notes on the artist.

  13. Best signage you could imagine for a veterinary practice but does someone keep a high pressue hose around for the sidewalk and steps?

  14. Merci for the welcome! Unfortunately, it will probably stay a one off as there are virtually no murals in Versailles. :-( Who knows, I might discover some more!

  16. A totally delightful mural for an animal clinic. I do wonder, though, whether the sick animals brought here appreciate it... :-)

    [Thanks for linking me, Carolyn. I'll try to catch up with other mural posters over the next few days.]

  18. My neighborhood! It is really a beauty. Do you think that it was painted by the same artist did the one on the corner of 51st and Broadway?
