Tank 118

Get Art... while you're driving to work? The other day I was traveling into the city on 295 and angled the camera out the window for this blue shot. It is one of the structures at the Sprague Energy tank farm that was selected to be painted by Venezuelan artist Jamie Gill.  Since being chosen by Maine Center of Creativity in 2008, Gill has painted eight tank tops. A few of them are much more elaborate than this one too. Perhaps the guerilla grandmas, who 'yarn bombed' the the sculpture "Michael" in the city late Thursday night, might want to try their hand at tackling one of these babies!

  2. This gives a new meaning to tank tops.

    The shadow cast by the stairs is as artistic as the painting.

  4. Great shot you got when you made the stop. You did pull over and stop, right? Otherwise, how'd you get such a crisp, clear shot?

  11. Terrific! The first tank I saw painted by an artist was in Dorchester, painted in bright colored rainbow drips by Sister Mary Corita.
