Good Morning Everyone,

This a mural painted on a building above the bus depot in Cannes. It is very realistic, showing scenes and people from the movie industry. We had great fun identifying the characters.

It is obviously linked to the Cannes Film Festival, as were many other features in the town. I have trawled the Internet trying to find a link to supply further information, but without success. Sorry.

I cropped the base of the shot to remove some half letters, added a border, added a brush from clipart which I recoloured, added text and signed, sharpened.

Many thanks for stopping by.
I hope you enjoyed it.
Please feel free to offer feedback on any aspect of the photograph. 

Hi Bev
This is certainly a wall-full of street art. What an amazing place. It takes a close look to see what windows are real and what aren't. Very cleverly done.
And you framework is excellent, especially with the paint crush added too.
Well done
Janice

Well seen Bev, you captured this fantastic mural from the 'right' end.
If you had been on the left the painted shadows would be wrong. The mural would have lost it's 3D look.
Real art for the theme.

Hi, Beverley, very good photo, interesting object and thanks for showing us...

Such impressive and colourful art - amazing! Nicely captured here too, a good, crisp, bright, well-metered shot from a strong POV with no distractions or unnecessary details. Nice framing addition.

Send me an offline if you're interested in that tutorial I made for you - it's in email form with embedded screen-shots so I'll need an address to send it!

HI Beverley
The cannes festival is always filled with enormous egos, and wild fashion.The wall does a pretty good job of depicting these characters.
A good catch and well done.
Dot

Hi Beverley

A superb entry in the Friday theme, with a good upward pov, & attractive colours. I like the cherry picker & couple on the roof. Tfs!

Hello Bev, a wonderful piece of street art,the quality of the painting is very apparent.
I remember seeing a shot of this wall before but it could have been on TE.
Good presentation especially with the paint brush matching some of the colours in the art work.
You could start a quiz, how many stars can the viewers recognise?
Tfs, regards Jean.

I KNOW I critiqued this today!! I can't believe! I wonder where my critiques go! Anyways! I have commented on ALOT of murals today! I think they are my favorite in street art! This is nice, at first it looks real, and then, there is doubt! HAHA!
Nice work
B-)

You made this scene even more colourful in adding your fanciful frame and paint brush to it and you signed this wonderful work of art, how cute lol , the easiest part of your ' street art ' was to picture it from a distance as you did , well that was worth the effort no ? hi hi . The painting is just gorgeous , superb, an artist with so much talent and skill ! A good one for the theme Beverley , i like this,
tfs,Carol

hello beverley,

de bien jolies couleurs dans cette image bien composée.
Bonne soirée
Marie

Hi Bev,

This is just amazing with all those paintings on the wall captured brilliantly in a frame. Light and exposure is perfect with so much to see and appreciate.

Well done and best regards.
