CCC's Street Art Contest #157 ~ StreetArt and LITERATURE find in CARRICK ON SHANNON - IRELAND 🇮🇪 ~ 8

avatar

Hi all 👋🏻

Today I want to share with you a StreetArt find that combines LITERATURE WITH STREETART.
I discovered this wall while I was exploring the town of CARRICK-ON-SHANNON in IRELAND 🇮🇪 😊

I captured this #mural / #artwork on a #wall on 19 July 2023.

The first #photo will be my #entry into the “CCC's Street Art Contest #157” hosted by @digi-me
Thank you @trincowski, @heroldius, @melinda010100, @ervin-lemark, @ecency, @tobetada and @arcange and many more for supporting this #contest!

‼️If you want to know more about this contest: have a look at @digi-me ’s post: CCC's Street Art Contest #157 | 🎁 : 100% Liquid Payout and Ecency points as Prize Pool & Winners of #156‼️
It tells you the rules and how to enter. Join us! It’s truly fun around here 🤩

The Photographs in this post I took with my iPhone… 📱

Let’s have a look at my StreetArt find for today :

Artist: BLOWDESIGNS aka Nik Purdy
Title: LITERARY HERITAGE
Location: ”CHURCH LANE” - CARRICK-ON-SHANNON #IRELAND
Work Created: 2020

Facebook : Blowdesigns Nik Purdy

Instagram : Blowdesigns Nik Purdy

His website doesn’t seem to work… so I left it out. But it is linked in his Instagram page.

Let’s have a closer look at this art work and the literature:

I will share the quotes seen in each photo below with you for each person 🤓
I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did.

Nora J. Murray
“There are silver waters lapping
Under arches. grey and brown
When the swans come up the river
To the bridge in Carrrick town.”

John McGahern
”I think fiction
is a very serious thing.
That while it is fiction.
It is also a revelation of truth.”

M. J. McManus
”The people came to drink the soup
ladled from greasy bowls
They died in whitewashed wards
That held a thousand souls”

Susan Mitchell
”No bigger than a bulrush.
I beside the rushy Shannon cry.
There are no children on the shore.
The singing voices sing no more.
The sea draws all the rivers down.
And love has sailed from
Carrick town.”

Canon Slater
”You'll never find more beauty,
peace and welcome all combined.
Than along the Shannon river
where your cares are left behind.”

The Artist’s signature… very small down below…

And one more capture from further away 😎

And that’s all for todays #StreetArt post my friends. Until the next one! 👋🏻😎
Hope you enjoyed my #photos of this StreetArt find. #haveyoubeenhere
Thank you for looking and reading 😊 🙏🏻 Stay tuned for more… 😉

What a fantastic mural! I never saw this-sized mural with so many different faces on it... Usually, it's just one person and maybe a quote, but this looks very interesting as a mix of different people!

Thanks for sharing!

Yep, exactly like that… it was today hehehe 🤭
Still working on it, but I have some time Friday and the weekend hopefully. Tomorrow too a busy day at home. Still doing paperwork and sorting things out.
People not reading emails and trying not to solve problems. But I keep pushing, as they have to resolve it hahaha 🤣

You are welcome
Good night Joe 😴😴😴

It is cool that your weekend is going to be free for a possible outing.

I have nothing to do today, so it is a waiting game for me till Monday, I successfully booked my medical appointment for next week Tuesday.

Good morning Jackie.

Let’s hope it stays that way Joe… a lot can happen between now and then 🤓

That’s good news you managed to book your medical next week. Some progress.
We too had some progress, we got the code for the car. So just before lunch we could print out the new paperwork and head to the test center to import the car.
All is done and we got Irish number plates now on the car.
When we were home this afternoon, hubby took the old ones off and after we cleaned those parts of the car and I could stick on the new number plates. No screws… so had to make sure it was dirt and grease free the part I had to stick it on with double sided tape.
So we are happy.
Tomorrow we can get into the governmental system to apply for road tax and pay that… after done that, they will send the new paperwork of the car to us.
So some progress for us too 🎉🥳

Now still waiting for my drivers license since end of May… and a job for hubby…
He does have another interview tomorrow 🤞🏻🍀. No reply from the last one. But we knew it could be end of the week before we hear.

Have a nice evening Joe 👋🏻😊
Enjoy… hope your day was nice even with nothing to do and just waiting…

We both could do with some progress and the week has given that.

Am glad there is progress regarding your car, am happy for you about that.

Results from interviews tend to drag making us curious and expectant to hear from them. Hopefully a good news comes soon for him and it is also good he has another interview coming up, the more the better and hopeful.

I hope you get your license soon so you can enjoy your driving again.

May next week be a better week for us Jackie.

Have a good night. 🙂

You are welcome Jackie
Let's stay hopeful

Not much of activity from me here
Finally met my eldest niece today the only one left I haven't in 15 years.

Other than that, it is a long wait till Tuesday for my medical, no development on the police character yet, I hope that I make progress with that early next week.

Have a good one,
Happy Friday.

Oh that is great to hear you met you niece after such a long time.
And that you have seen everybody now.

I know, it’s long until then. You will manage… it is worth the wait. You know why you are doing it.

Thanks a lot, good night 😴
Have a wonderful weekend!
