Botanical Mural by Mona CaronThis mural is immense. It is impossible to capture it in one photo and have any idea of what is being portrayed, so I have chosen to shoot it and show it to you in sections. Mona Caron has shown up several times in this website. This mural features greatly magnified botanical illustrations of locally occurring, small wild plants, both native species and non-native, invasive weeds.
This is a real eye catcher, the massive scale of the plants and insects is just spectacular.
The mural was painted in 2006. Ms. Caron received sponsorship from counterPulse as well as a $5000 grant for materials from San Francisco Beautiful and another grant from San Francisco’s Neighborhood Challenge Grant Program
I love murals and graffiti.
Your link (at andthenshesnapped) caught my eye because my name, Deborah, means bee.
Thanks for documenting this and sharing.
Wonderful work and it still looks to be in good shape!
This is amazing!! So beautiful! I’m still in awe of all the murals you find. I would like to see this one in person!!
What a wonderful mural! I love the colors…do you think they’ve faded since 2006? Have a fun weekend, Principessa!
This is beautiful! So much different than the others you have shown…
Very nice! I am going to have to stop by and take a look at this mural. I love the way you captured it!
