Wednesday Walk - Look what I found!
This is my #wednesdaywalk post, a great challenge initiated by @tattoodjay. Open to anyone, check the rules here: Wednesday Walk Challenge Rules
I found this beautiful mural just two blocks away from my house. I couldn't believe I passed by it so many times without noticing, so I asked around and they said there was a camouflage type of wall covering it, more like an awning.
It was hard to take a full picture of it, as it stretches for a good 50 yards, and there were many cars parked on that side of the street, so I had to photograph both ends separately.
Here is my attempt to capture all painting in one photo:
Here is the left end:
Here is the right end:
It is called "Mother's Eternal Love". The details are amazing and the whole composition is remarkable. The mother is sending light and peace (doves) to her child.
The child's face is adorable, his eyes are so alive!
But what I like the most on this painting, is the adoration on mother's face. I think that the artist captured her feeling amazingly.
In the right hand corner there is some text, hope it came out clear in the picture, as the wall was a little dirty.
The artist is very talented and I hope this mural will be here for many years to come, to remind us that a mother's love is eternal.
WOW that is such a nice mural with a beautiful message thanks for sharing it with us
and thanks for joining Wednesday walk tip!
I told you I found something special this time. I asked around who was Sammy, this mural is dedicated to him. He was a beloved citizen of Jersey City, he died in a motorcycle accident, he was in his 40’s and he lived around here.
yes indeed that is so special and a beautiful memorial to Sammy

Great #wednesdaywalk @starjewel Beautiful mural. And great photos. I've been there trying to get a long mural into one shot :) I love the beauty that murals can bring to a neighborhood.
Me too. You can get good shots if you are on higher altitude, in my case I needed to go on the roof 😂🤣
Most mothers will be able to come to term to those beautiful paintings on the wall. It must have been a wonderful Wednesday walk. :) Thank you for sharing it with us with so many photos.
I was so surprised to see this mural. As I wrote in the article, it was hidden under an awning. 😊
Glad you found out and even shared it here so we could admire it too. 💓
