My World: Art Cans

Thanks to the My World team, Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Louise, Fishing Guy and Sylvia for making this a world wide event.

The Arts in the Santa Clarita Valley is not just a weekend festival but it is all year long. Art in public places not only add personality to the community, it also develops creative expression, and promotes participation of the residents, students and other artists. A few miles north of Los Angeles, it is accessible by Metrolink.

    As always, wonderful shots, Ebie! I love the mural. Our benches around town are painted with different scenes. I wonder how the city workers would react if I painted my mini dumpster… :) Hope all is well with you. Have a great week!
