I hadn't been to Waynesboro for a while but there were some big changes last time I went. A couple of powerful murals had moved into town. I'd really like to talk to someone who lives there and know how they feel about them. They have the grandeur of big city works. Not the kind of statements you expect in the working class town snuggled up to the Blueridge.

The image above is more about the red-brick of the place. An old church (I think) turned into a cinema is viewed face on. The town seems quiet at the best of times. Main street isn't that main anymore. A mural of a woman with flowers in her hair is far more dominant than it appears here, helping with the dreamy quality of buildings seen flat-on above a sprawling section of road.

Waynesboro is such a tidy place. You can see they are struggling economically but they have their pride. Of course I broke it up a bit.

Below is a view of a street with a more monumental piece . I've looked the artist up. Nils Westergard. Belgian-American. Sounds neither Belgian nor American. Someone to watch for.On a quiet street of telegraph poles and empty buildings. The works are like a reminder that the people haven't been forgotten. I did a couple from this viewpoint and prefer this one as the parts are more obviously disparate with clouds and clear blue, light and shadow, line and plane. The colours are a bit mucky in this one but that seems appropriate.
