Montclair s newest mural, which depicts a giant lavender iris and a huge marble bust covering the back of a Church Street building, is hard to miss.
The 95-by-26-foot mural, the last of four painted by winners of the Montclair Center Business Improvement District’s mural project, is across from the Crescent parking deck and on the building housing Esthetica Salon, Chez Renee Boutique, Doin Dishes and Galleria Loupe.
Yet miss it people do. Sue Cole, a Montclair resident and member of the Montclair Art Museum s events committee, had just parked her car at the Crescent lot on a recent morning and stopped to talk about the mural. I ve walked past this before and didn t notice it, bee-lining to an errand, she said. It s gorgeous.
