One for the arty types on my flist...

Can someone tell me if this is an art "style". If this mural is perhaps homaging an artist or style of art?

There's just something about the way these totem poles are painted, the wing in the top right corner, the foliage snaking its way up the wall, the colour of the background etc. that makes me feel this isn't some random choice. I feel like I love it because it reminds me of something.





Sorry it's not a better capture. We don't get a better shot of that wall - though it features in the background in many of the shots (just not very clearly).


And if you think I've become obsessed......then... darn tootin'! I figure if I'm going to do something then I may as well be thorough about it. (I promise I'll shut up when I'm done... )

I'm drawing a blank. It doesn't really remind me of anything other beyond Native American Art in general. I've checked out Rousseau and Gauguin, they were the only artists I could think of that painted similar subject matters, even though in a different part of the world.

Thank you. The room definitely has Native American theme going on. I did wonder if there was an artist who painted this subject matter and they might be homaging it. But, it seems not.

Thanks for checking hun.
