Graffiti seen on the Quequechan River Rail Trail

Good Morning all

Recently @silversaver888 shared a Wednesday walk post of a cool mural she had seen in this post
and she said

Technically, this is not street art, which is defined as artwork that is created in a public space, typically without official permission or commission.

which is of course true, but it got me thinking about I do like seeing street art, personally I am not a fan of tagging or tacky graffiti and do not really consider that street art, but in some places the graffiti can be a mix of tagging and what I feel is street art, mini murals or scenes painted in public places without any approval

and it reminded me of a walk I took on the Quequechan River Rail Trail which I shared some shots of in a previous post a lovely walk, and in one spot I came across some graffiti I am sharing in this post.

a real mix of styles of graffiti tagging, statements, hmm squiggles and some artistic touches,

as this next shot shows there is quite a lot of it, I did see someone painting one piece, he was just starting and it looked like it was going to be a cool piece, I chatted to him for a bit, but since this is not approved I agreed with him not to take any photos of him or the piece he was working on

this was a cool spot in my opinion some cool art in between tags, and of course I do understand some consider the tagging art as well so not saying its not art, well not fully saying that LOL

another part of the walls that really caught my eye

I wasn't going to say it was my favorite of the ones shared in this post, but i guess since I picked this to display as the thumb nail I have made it clear already that it was

Wow, it's amazing how talented some people are. It's too bad that others need to tag over top of other people's stuff. There is plenty of room, they could find their own space. It seems like the city must just turn a blind eye to this as long as there is nothing offensive.

Those are some cool StreetArt finds 😎 some less but a few are nice.
Thanks for sharing.
I think it is still art. An expression from the creator.
Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Nice street art post. I agree that not all graffiti is art. Some of the lettering is very well done, but I prefer the murals or cool characters like in the 5th shot.

I'm also not much of a fan of the usual tagging, but this graffiti has a lot of artistry put in there and seeing as it's on a wall that's not particularly pretty to begin with, I think it's actually better now.

yes indeed, I agree the art does add to these walls which would look so boring plain

Wow, those graffities are a bomb!
Tagging is an art. Well-thought-out graffiti is art. It is amazing. The artists have expressed themselves with well-articulated messages. It is ART!
Quequechan River Rail Trail street art is confined to those walls, which is indeed impressive. It makes one's walk interesting.

yeah It was a cool find and a surprise as the rest of the trail was by the water and surrounded mostly by nature
