We do a lot of traveling and every time we travel we are on the lookout for new street art and outdoor wall murals. We're huge fans of beach theme'd wall murals and some of our favorite artists include
David Dunleavy, Beilings (Father & Son team), Wyland and others.
A few months ago we were down in North Wildwood, New Jersey and spotted this beauty that was hand painted on the backside of the Alante Motel in Wildwood. If you want to see it, you'll have to walk behind the hotel and you'll find it covering the back wall. It was painted by MG Signs. I tried to find information online about them, but came up empty-handed.
The wall mural depicts two children (a girl and a boy) playing on the sandy beach. You'll see the mighty Atlantic Ocean, sand dunes with sea grass, seagulls flying overhead, a beautifully-build sandcastle, sand bucket, etc. depicted in the scene. I think it must have been painted within the past few years because the colors are still vivid and not faded (just-yet) from the intense sunlight that the Jersey Shore seems to get.
I absolutely LOVE this outdoor wall mural! It reminds me of me and my brother. We spent a LOT of our childhood summers down at the Jersey Shore playing in the sand and splashing around in the Atlantic Ocean. When I first saw the wall mural, that's exactly the memories that came flooding back into my mind. It's beautiful!
If you're visiting North Wildwood, Wildwood or Wildwood Crest in New Jersey and you enjoy looking at outdoor wall murals and street art, make sure you check out the Alante Motel in North Wildwood to see this AMAZING mural painted on the back of their building. It's worth a look-see!
