The mural connects viewers with a part of Cincinnati's rich heritage that continues to support an incredible mission: "Inspire (Experience a journey filled with excitement and emotion), Discover (Celebrate the power of the human spirit), Champion (Advocate for a lesson deeper than language)". That mission was brought to life through the thoughtfully designed mural created by Paul Loehle, a local artist and art educator who has dedicated much of his life to guiding the youth of Cincinnati toward their greatest potential in the art room, at the mural site, and in the world.

It is the work of a Detroit based artist Louise Jones, artistically known as Ouizi, whose specializes in floral murals. She painted it in 2019 and was inspired by blooms she had photographed at the US Botanic Garden in Washington, DC during a road trip with her mom. In the mural Jones uses white daisies, white jasmine, and orange roses. The mural is starting to show signs of deterioration especially near the bottom of it, but the wall it is painted on was not the best to start with. Also, being that it overlooks a parking lot, sometimes the bottom portion of the mural may be obstructed, but it is only a small portion. There is some in metered street parking in a reasonable waking distance. There are also commercial garages and lots you can park in, but they are pretty pricy. I just pulled into the lot that it overlooked, took a good look at the mural and then left. Anyway, as with most murals that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a very long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. You may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other murals in the area or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip. I just did a mural tour of the downtown area. There are a ton within about a half mile of each other.

It is on the side of what was once Jean-Robert's Table and overlooks a commercial parking lot. This highly detailed mural looks amazing and was inspired by Dutch still life's and pays tribute to the culinary arts. I do not know whose table looks like that though, but I guess it is supposed to have an element of fantasy. It has a rooster, a snail, a rabbit, a tipped over basket of fruit and vegetables, pheasants flying, a sheep, and some signs with flying pigs on them. I am feeling this mural. It is in great shape, especially given its age. I cannot stress enough how much detail is put into it. There is some in metered street parking in a reasonable waking distance.
