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
ReplyDeleteThe market is so colorful!
ReplyDeleteShopping 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteGreat mural Jeanie, love the bright colours that go so well with the market produce. Thanks for contributing.
ReplyDeleteHow blissfully Gorgeous!!! Off to poke around ~

ReplyDeleteI would enjoy stopping there. The murals are so big that you feel like you are right in them.
ReplyDeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteVery colourful.
ReplyDeleteVery colourful.

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

I would enjoy that.
ReplyDeletegorgeous mural!
ReplyDeleteJeanie, 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.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeletei love that gloriously colourful mural! how amazing.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteWow, 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.
ReplyDeleteThere 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!
ReplyDeleteI love a good outdoor market and this one is fabulous with all the colors, murals, flowers and people!
ReplyDeleteWOW... 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))
ReplyDeleteThose colors grab me, in the market stalls and in the mural.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful colours within this post, lovely to see.
ReplyDeleteAll 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't make to Oxford. Next time perhaps. Thanks for sharing.
