A new long mural along Prince (Murals being made, part 68)

For years, a long mural east of Amphi Middle School has been fading in the strong southern sun. Joe Pagac started painting a new mural in late 2021 and finished it in 2022:

The mural used to look like this (the photo is from our December 21, 2009 post, A long mural along Prince, which also has closer shots):

I found out that the mural was being repainted in Joe's Facebook post on November 9, 2021:



I stopped by on December 18, 2021, hoping to catch the mural in progress. I did:

I snapped close-up photos of the mural from left (west) to right (east). Those pictures are below, the first of each pair of photos. I came back on February 21, 2022 to snap pictures of the completed mural. Those are the second of each pair below:

Tribute To The Medical Profession

The mural is on a free-standing wall on the TMC campus.  It is across from the Catalina Garage on a street named E. New Hospital.

Painted by Joe Pagac with assistance from Katherine Joyce and Arielle Alelunas.

The mural is too long to fit this Blog.  I have therefore broken it into the five photos you see below.

He posted that photo to Instagram on March 10th as he and co-muralists were starting to paint animals on bicycles over a rainbow-covered background along Court Avenue, just north of Alameda.

BG Boyd Photography sent the spectacular panorama below of the finished mural. As always, you can click on the photo for a larger version. You can also see all of BG's photos of the mural at https://bgboydphoto.com/murals/el_tour_de_tucson.

I stopped by the mural site on March 14th to see what was new:

He's painted other murals with animals on bikes. The best-known is his Epic Rides mural (from the blog entry Murals being made, part 46c: Tucson's biggest):

Let's look at the whole mural in progress on March 14th from left (north end) to right (south end). As always, you can click on a photo for a slideshow of larger views:

A week later, on March 21, I read that the mural was finished. Here are views from the north end looking south, then the south end looking north:

Finally, the finished mural from left (north) to right (south):
