The mural, located on the side of the BP station on Connecticut Ave by Fessenden, was completed by Regina Holliday on Sept. 30th 2009. From her Web site:
“Regina Holliday is a DC-based medical rights advocate. She is currently at work on a series of murals depicting the need for clarity and transparency in medical records. Her background is in special ed advocacy, and she is bringing her experience in that field to the field of patients’ rights.” (more…)
Thanks to twitter user @SocJustCampDC for the link. I’ve featured most of these new murals before but the video provides a cool perspective of them.
I just saw for the first time the new(ish) mural at U Street Cafe located at 1301 U Street, NW. It was painted one of my favorite muralists in DC, Joel Bergner. It was so big I couldn’t get it all in one photo. But here’s the rest:
This mural is by the basketball courts and is so large it’s difficult to get it all in one shot. Part of it even comes off the wall onto the floor:
The mural is sponsored by Words, Beats & Life, the same folks who recently completed the new mural at 14th and Randolph.
The artists commissioned for the Girard Park project are Maxx Moses, Aniekan, and the apprentice is Isaiah Aladejobi.

Last week a reader sent in some photos of new murals at Pierce Park in Adams Morgan. A commenter mentioned that there was another one near the basketball courts. Here it is. I love the earth in the middle.
I had no idea it was going to look this great when I first saw it a couple of weeks ago. At the time we learned that the mural is part of Murals DC 2009. I particularly like the one of the woman holding a camera with the Washington Monument in the lens and of course the amazing sun to the left.
I noticed today that a bunch of new murals went up on Porter Street Klingle Road. They look great. Here are just a couple:
Thanks to a reader for sending in the photos:
“saw the wall painted white the other day and lots of work yesterday and finally got my camera out this morning. pretty cool mural in the park and new recycling trash cans along with it. you can also see the tree pot in the background with ontario lakers painted on. i think it’s an old youth organization that i’ve seen in some historic photos but i don’t know the background.
the park got an updated dog park in earlier this year too. now if they would only fix the soccer field, which is in terrible shape.”

This one was done by folks from Words, Beats & Life, Inc. You can see some photos of the work in progress here.
It looks like it’s gonna be pretty sweet. It’s quite large too. I’ll be sure to go back for more when it is completed. From an email:
“The mural is located on Sherman Ave and Barry Place NW in Washington DC and it is a part of Murals DC 2009. Be a part of it!
The young artists who worked on the mural on Sunday were Derrick, Jamilla, her little brother and sister, Dana, Mika and Cristian. It was wonderful to meet the neighbors and hang out with our friends who came to relax and help with the mural. Thank you. For more photos click here.”
