Monday Mural: folk art design

We've all found murals on various surfaces---walls, freeway piers, utility boxes---why not on a mail box?  Spotted in East Oakland in the Allendale neighborhood.  The artist had fun painting so many colibrí among the flowers.  Such a cheery sight.

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 mural finds posted this week.&nbsp

    What a great design! I had to look twice as I was expecting something of a huge scale and my first thought was: "Whoa, those are gigantic bricks!" :-)
    Thanks for hosting.

    Someone likes to paint lovely patterns with bright colours. I guess it's the lady of the house.
