It had been six years since I'd last photographed the Brothers Laundry mural painted by Seth in 2014, but I had driven by it more recently. Now it's gone, painted over. Possibly it had been defaced, but it still makes me sad.
That is sad and I know the feeling. There was a beautiful barn here where the land was bought by developers. They said they were going to incorporate it into their plans but ended up demolishing it. I'm so glad I have my photos! And I'm glad you have this too.
Richmond has a great mural presence with artists from all over the world. What several pointed out (and I had never really thought about before) is that murals are by their nature transitory.
@allie912 When we visited Richmond in 2015, my granddaughter and I wandered around Shockoe Bottom admiring the murals. I have read that street art is transitory and the artists themselves have updated or repainted some of the ones here.
