I've loved this mural forever on the side of a building that is now being refurbished. The Benevolent Irish Society has rescued it and is placing it on their building now..
Sheila's Brush is a Newfoundland weather superstition. It's a winter storm believed to follow on the heels of St. Patrick's Day (March 17). 'Brush', according to the Dictionary of Newfoundland English is a Newfoundland word for 'stormy weather'.
I am so glad this stunner is being saved.
ReplyDeleteMe too EC, I have driven by it so many times. They saved Sheila!

ReplyDeleteIt's very encouraging that we don't always blindly destroy everything.
