If you drive west on Cache la Poudre Street downtown, just before you get to El Paso Street you'll drive under a footbridge that's been there for ages. About a decade ago, local artist Steve Wood painted a mural on both sides of the concrete butresses that support the footbridge. Even though Steve is a friend of a friend, I must confess that, although I've admired the artwork as I sped past, I never took the time to really look at it, so today I stopped the car and took a few snaps. Apparently it's called "Now & Then", and it depicts images of early Colorado Springs juxtaposed with the present. Today's photo shows the north side of the street.
Steve's painting style is playful and sort of primitive. His mural is a whimsical addition to the Shooks Run neighborhood.
