Something new is growing at West Seattle Nursery (5245 California SW) – the wall along the south side of the property, on SW Brandon, is getting a mural. The artist is Katie Todaro of Glam Dusty Studios, whose work you’ve likely seen beautifying other West Seattle walls.

When we stopped by this morning, Katie told us that with rainy weather likely to interrupt soon, the mural will probably be complete within two weeks.

So beautiful! I hope some sort of protective seal will be put on to protect it when the inevitable tagging happens.

I love it!! It also detracts from the bizarre wooden statues at the property next door to the mural! Thanks for beautifying the neighborhood!!

I for one, love the “bizarre wooden statues,” also what’s going up at the nursery.

  Here here! This art looks fantastic, but the artist who lives at the corner did an amazing job carving what must have been Madrona trees into beautiful sculptures. Now there will be more cool art. Awesome!

    The trees were Elm and were infected with Dutch Elm disease. The city told the homeowner to remove the trees, but it turns out removing the bark was adequate. He had an artist carve the trees for him. Over the years one of the trees rotted inside, and when struck by a car, that was struck by a van, the dragon fell off its stump. Also for folks that don’t know, the house was moved from California Ave maybe 20 years ago, there had been a 3 room house on the property, the materials from that house were repurposed, and the larger house moved from about a block away.
