So, what do you do when your paint store has a blank wall facing a busy street? Why not convert that wall into a quaint villa.

This is a cleverly drawn, unsigned, mural. The wall is painted in beige to represent an earth-toned villa. In the center of the wall, its focal point, there is painted a rustic rounded wooden door. It's flanked by two partially open matching windows. What makes the scene fascinating is the series of three connected arches with vines growing up the columns. The vines are covered with clusters of drooping flowers and the door is centered within the middle arch.

By the use of perspective and shadowing the artist conveys the clear impression that the arches are a significant distance from the wall.
