Spring

Part of his Seasons series of projects, Spring is a mural designed by David Guinn to connect the trees on either side of the wall, on Pine Street and in the backyard of the house, as if there were a park in front of the wall rather than a parking lot. The artist wanted to paint the trees crisply and in detail but, at the same time, have a soft and organic feel. He was inspired by the idea of making soft forms out of discreet, hard-edged blocks of color. His hope for the squares was that they would allow the mural to be seen simultaneously as a flat abstraction of color and as having depth and space.

Originally painted in 2000, this classic mural has been restored twice in its lifetime.

Restored in 2008 and 2017.
