STREET ART: Canvas Art West Palm Beach Tour #DriveMazda
*Please note I was given the Mazda CX 5 for a week to review and give you my honest opinion – of which this post has 100% of!
I was super excited to test drive the new Mazda CX5 this month and thought it would be fun to tour West Palm Beach’s street art scene in it! We dropped the kids off at school in the morning and headed downtown. We wanted to get some great photos of the art without the congestion of the usual parked cars blocking our view!
CANVAS WEST PALM BEACH STREET ART
First stop was to a piece that we visited initially while it was being completed back in November of last year. This is Kobra’s Hamlet. It amazes me how much detail and care is taken when painting these huge installations. This one in particular is on the side of a theater.
The next piece by Greg Mike is fierce yet jovial. Once again, the attention to detail on these massive cats is unreal!
2alas created this intricate black and white linear beauty below:
Case, known worldwide for paintings featuring hands, created this fabulous piece.
Anthony Hernandez’s piece speaks volumes – especially the part where you an become the puppet (to the right of the Mazda).
My absolute favorite, another Anthony Hernandez piece, is this one of JFK. LOVE.
Wrdsmth has a way to get the point across in a simple manner – with a simple typewriter. These are just two of the many pieces one can find throughout the city.
This one below is my favorite of all of the Wrdsmth pieces (the photo was taken back in November 2015 when the Canvas show opened).
On our way back home, we came across this work of art, but it wasn’t street art. I like to call it “sky art” – another beautiful beach morning in Palm Beach!
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE NEW MAZDA CX 5
The Mazda CX 5 is the youngest sibling to the CX 7 and CX 9. My family and I enjoyed riding around in this newest SUV. I was most impressed with the technological advancements such as alerts for:
- When the driver may infringe on the left or right lane on either side of the vehicle
- If there is a vehicle in your blindspot
- When there is a car or other obstruction in front of the Mazda CX 5 (an advanced breaking system to avoid rear ending or colliding with the obstruction).
The interior was beautiful – I loved the white perforated leather seats and the in-dash control panel.
Have you seen the Mazda CX 5 on the road yet? Are you a street art fan? Tell me which one above was your favorite piece!!
I love the typewriter’s street art! I believe that it’s true when it comes to growing up and colouring within the lines just because society want you to, just because it is ‘the right thing to do’. We should instead spread our wings and find out what we are created to do, what would actually make us happy and do it .
wow the interior of that Mazda is beautiful! we bought both our cars used and this post makes me wish we bought new!
It is right? I dint know how long the white would last with my 2 boys and dog, but I love it!
So much pretty art to be seen!
Looks like a really nice vehicle! Love all the pretty street art!
How cool! It’s been forever since I’ve been to WPB and I’m dying to go back! I’ll have to check some of this street art out next time I’m there 🙂
All this street art is amazing. I love the typewriter pieces! I would love to see those in person one day.
Oh the art you shared is amazing. I love seeing such beautiful pieces. We really liked our time with the Mazda CX-5 as well. It’s a great car.
Thanks Nickida! It is so amazing to see these pieces of art – they are beautiful and HUGE! What an undertaking to create them!
The street art is amazing! such vibrant colors! I love the looks of this car, I would definitely love to test drive one.
Definitely test drive the Mazda CX 5 if you get a chance 🙂
These are super cool. It takes real talent to paint like this. Looks like a lot of fun to visit.
Jenn, it was a lot of fun!
That is absolutely beautiful, I love seeing street art when it’s like this – actual art versus rude words and what many call graffiti. Street art can be beautiful!
This is awesome street art!! I wish my city had more stuff like this.
What city do you live in? I bet there is street art nearby!
Love the car but really love the art. I am a frequent visitor of West Palm Beach and plan on checking out these amazing stops.
Shari, if you travel on Clematis and around those little streets you’re bound to stumble across them!
This looks like it was an interesting fun day to go around and check out the street art in the Mazda CX 5. The Mazda CX 5 looks like an awesome vehicle to drive around for this purpose. These pieces are just amazing. The Wrdsmth pieces I find the most interesting indeed because I have never see this kind of street art before.
What beautiful art! We had a rental CX 9, and I did love it. They are amazing cars.
Wow! Stunning artwork! I’m a huge fan of street art. A while ago, I featured street art from around the world on my blog.
I love seeing street art! As a less creative person, I am always amazed at how an artist’s mind works and really appreciate their talent.
I agree with you April! It is amazing and I love that we can all appreciate the awesome works of art!
Great arts here! Beautiful indeed! I hope we have more of these too 🙂
