It was our last day in Oxford and we still had a lot to see. One of the spots that had intrigued me was the Oxford Covered Market.
As we walked in we were met with this splash of color.
It was so bright, so cheerful, I felt as though I was falling into it.
And the details were lovely.
It clearly offered a sneak preview of what we would find when we entered! Brightly painted stalls...
...and equally bright fruits, veggies, cakes and blooms.

NICE mural this week Jeanie. Markets are always so appealing to walk through and there is often so much to see. I bet this was a really fun thing to do. Happy new week. Hugs-Erika
The market is so colorful!
Shopping would be fun in a market like that. I wish I could paint as colorful as those first to photos. Wish I had that kind of a painting style, too. Just wonderful!
I agree. You feel like you fell into a bucket of pure color and whimsy. I was immersed in color in this mural. I love it. Great find.
Great mural Jeanie, love the bright colours that go so well with the market produce. Thanks for contributing.
How blissfully Gorgeous!!! Off to poke around ~
Wow. This is a great one!
Are those pigeons??? Oh là!
The market is beautiful as well!
Now that's part of our colourful world
Yes, that market is fabulous. And the mural. Glad you enjoyed it all so much. Have a great week, hugs, Valerie
I would enjoy stopping there. The murals are so big that you feel like you are right in them.
I'm always in search of bright colors; they do wonders to one's mood. Markets are the ideal place for such colors. They are my first stop when visiting a new village or town.
Very colourful.
Very colourful.
...a wonderful depiction of the colorful market!
mural and covered market look exciting...
Have a wonderful day
captivating
Wow what a colorful place that was! I enjoy places like this!
The 3D aspect of the painting is amazing! That is a talented artist. The stalls look so inviting.
Markets and murals, a perfect combination for me!
Hello, Jeanie
It looks like a wonderful market. I love the colorful mural. Beautiful!
Wishing you a happy day and a great new week!
The mural looks lovely. I'm going to have a look at the other posts about Oxford. :)
Nice looking market. Excellent photos, as always.
I love markets AND murals -- what a great combination! Your photos always capture the spirit of a place.

Falling into the painting is a perfect description Jeanie, it feels like you could dance your way through it!
Lovely seeing Oxford through your eyes!

I would enjoy that.
gorgeous mural!
Jeanie, I love the murals. Someone would most likely have to have drug me out of that wonderful space. I can imagine the shops were great.
Have a great week!
Love it.
What glorious colours. I am surprised, I wouldn’t expect anything like that of the usually colourless and rather dismal English trader. Perhaps Oxford is different.
i love that gloriously colourful mural! how amazing.
I really want to compliment you on your posts Jeannie, you are such a vivid and thoughtful blogger, you always give to the fullest, I admire that! Hugs to you!
Wow, this market is great. I think, English people like markets, there are a lot of them in the UK. I haven't visited any in Oxford, but maybe next time, when I have more time in this city.
There is so much color and beauty in the world!! I love how you seek it, take it in, share it...I feel optimistic about the world when I come to your blog! Thanks for your recent comments...Someday maybe we van meet in Quebec City or somewhere!
I love a good outdoor market and this one is fabulous with all the colors, murals, flowers and people!
WOW... Oooohhhh... this was FUN! This covered market is such a sweet place in the midst of busy central Oxford... it was fun to go back with this, Jeanie!! I wish we had more variety of markets here... not just soul-less shopping centers full of chain stores, generic music, nowhere to sit and expensive coffee... haha! :/ ((HUGS))
Those colors grab me, in the market stalls and in the mural.
Such wonderful colours within this post, lovely to see.
All the best Jan
I do love a great market. This mural is so much fun, I love its happy colors. I am sorry I got behind in reading and commenting, trying to catch up!
I love those red telephone booths in London. Nel took a picture of one when she was in England. And that home cooked pie shop is charming - love the red building. What a colorful mural you have shared with us today. Lots of great moments and memories when you traveled to England, Jeanie.

I absolutely love that mural! The colors just sing.
I love old fashioned markets. Unfortunately, the council updated our indoor market in town and it's lost it's old market stall holders and it's personality.
We didn't make to Oxford. Next time perhaps. Thanks for sharing.
