Voluntown is a neighborhood in the town of Griswold, Connecticut, on the border with Rhode Island. A colorful primitive-style mural greets people who stop in the center of town. A metal graphic on a stand in front of the mural explains what is depicted. I tried to find out who painted it but I was unsuccessful.

Lots to look at in that mural!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Camera Girl... the mural has lots of detail to look at. It really bugs me when I can't find any info on the artist. Even when they leave their name on the mural it is sometimes difficult to find any information about them.
ReplyDeletei love that mural!
ReplyDeleteReally nice Jack.
ReplyDeleteI guess a mural showing visitors the attractions of a community should have a lot in it.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed by your initiative to do research regarding my comment the other day about people with unexpected backgrounds in athletics. The baseball player is Richard Mear.
Nice image! I like how they crammed so much detail into that mural.
ReplyDeleteA mural with a story..nice one Jack. Like the strong man in front :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's a tribute to Volunteers. Great idea! Monday Mural still isn't up yet today.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting and colorful mural to welcome visitors to the area! I like it! Hope you had a great weekend and that you're ready for another fun week with lots more photo taking!! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI wonder who that muscle man is in the front of the mural.
ReplyDeleteYou can also study it from a comfortable bench! (I get this one for aBoB)
ReplyDeleteLove the mural (and I was going to say something about the bench but it's too late!)
ReplyDeleteMy father-in-law painted a number of murals. At his church in Seattle he prepared one or two and set up outlining so congregation members could paint much of it. It was in a primitive style like this, which makes me wonder if this one was a similar community effort/
ReplyDeleteA lovely invitation to stop a while in this lovely town .... I'm sure if I were to be passing thru I would definitely stop and embrace a little of it's history.
ReplyDeleteQuite a nice mural, Jack!
ReplyDeleteNice mural
ReplyDeleteI love murals like this.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice they also provided a bench so you could study the mural in comfort. It's a sweet composition that shows pride in their town. I'm surprised the guide to the mural fails to mention the artist. Definite oversight. Thanks, Jack, for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
