This mural is part of the Jiffy Lube Mural Program, in conjunction with the Indianapolis Art Council. It is the work of Barb Stahl, who painted this interesting piece in 2018. The mural is intended to celebrate Brownsburg rich history.
The mural is not painted directly on the wall and was painted on an 8' x 20' piece of dibond aluminum in Stahl's studio. The wall of the Jiffy Lube was prepped and painted prior to the mural being installed.
The mural depicts a man developing photos the good old fashioned way. It you look closely at the photos, both developed and the tray, you will see symbolism. The developed photos represent the past and present, including images of the Malachy church, the little league, an old train, and numerous other tributes to Brownsburg. On the other hand, the photos in the developing trays show a glimpse of the future featuring the redeveloped Green Street and more of the town's future projects.
When developing this mural Stahl paid a lot of attention to detail. The walls window are painted with a frame similar to the mural and if you notice three things sticking out of the wall to the left of the mural, that is supposed to be binding of a book.
The artwork is very nice and the mural looks like a picture itself. It is very creative and well done. In addition to the research and development time, it took about 80 hours to complete. I really like this mural. This is another home run, that is part of the Jiffy Lube project and definitely worth a peek.
Parking to get a closer look is very easy. There are spots behind the Jiffy Lube, or at the restaurant next door. I just parked in front of the mural. Anyway, as with most murals that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip. read more
