This is the third of the Seven Saints of St Paul’s pieces by Michele Curtis and Paintsmiths that I have posted, and it is a real stunner. I love these pictures, because the light and sky are perfect, bringing out the best in the artwork.
This ‘saint’ is Barbara Dettering, who was one of the co-founders of the St Paul’s Carnival (along with the other six ‘saints’) and who fought for the rights for people from the Afro-Caribbean community in Bristol.
Michele Curtis and the Paintsmiths have once again pulled a rabbit out of a hat with this one. It is an exquisite mural and one that is such a classy way to recognise and pay tribute to local heroes. Not only is the portrait beautifully painted, but the flowers and exotic bird balance the piece perfectly. I love this.

It’s fabulous! Did they paint it with a brush or a can?

Mostly spray cans. One of the Paintsmiths artists I’d Sled One, he is one of the featured artists on my home page.

The photos have caught the light and extraordinary 3D effect of the portrait beautifully.

I am really pleased with these pictures. Photographing streets art is a tricky business, so when it works it is most rewarding.
