7057. Brunel Way (321)
One of the great pleasures of walking around town seeking out street art is that you get to find things that are remarkable and mysterious. It can be like finding treasure, and perhaps that is why I enjoy it so much. I found this magnificent frog (unfortunately a bit scuffed by bike tyre marks) under Brunel Way, just minding its own business.
I don’t know who painted the piece, and can’t think of any artist I know who would paint such a beauty and not sign it (reminds me a little of Hazard’s work). The perspective and depth that has been achieved points towards a very talented and experienced artist. Creatures of the natural world are always going to get great praise from me, and this one is an absolute peach, which left me very happy.
