PANAMA CITY Amid the images of animals and fantasy creatures, artist Olga Guy has decided to add the beauty of flowers to the ongoing Welcome Wall mural in downtown Panama City.
Guy originally planned to paint a fish image, possibly to match a series she has been working on for her upcoming solo show at the Center for the Arts in June. However, fellow Welcome Wall mural artist Joyful Enriquez s design focused on marine life, and Paul Brent s design was a seascape with a pelican, so Guy tried to come up with something different. I thought I would paint some fish, because that s mainly what I paint, she said. I m going to be painting a flower. Putting my work next to Mr. Paul Brent and these awesome guys, it s an honor, really.
