Inspiration matters. And, the works of art created by Paint Louis participants always inspire me so much. First of all, the artsy walls inspire my style. They also inspire the way I approach photography for this blog.
Paint Louis is an annual event that invites the best graffiti artists in the region to paint murals along the St. Louis Flood Wall, which I believe stands at 52 feet. The result is a gold mine of perfect backdrops for photographers. Paint Louis 2016 went down over the Labor Day Weekend. As usual, it was bittersweet for me because some of my favorite murals were removed, but they were replaced by a host of new masterpieces. Here are some of my favorites that I think are just perfect for blogger photos.
The mural above (by serum108) is especially relevant for blogger images because of its use of color and abstraction. As a result, it’s my all-time favorite this year. Come back tomorrow to see how I use it.
This art is so incredible. Absolutely beautiful…

For real, Samelia! The artists are so talented. They spend the entire weekend perfecting these pieces inch by inch, and the wall is 52 feet tall. I’m in awe of them.
Those are phenomenal!

They truly are beautifully created, Adetra. I have so much respect for the artists that travel into the city to work on them.
These are just stunning, and what a way for artists to come together and gift the city with beautiful murals. I read above that these go on for two miles? AMAZING. Very inspirational, and thank you for showcasing!
