Of all the murals in Lexington this is probably my favorite. It was painted by Portuguese artist Sergio Odeith, and it wasn’t supposed to happen. Tom Eblen, once more, wrote a great piece on the mural. Odeith had painted a mural for Lexington some time ago, then in a miscommunication, a contractor primered over it. They brought the artist back last year to do another wall, but in the eleventh hour, the building’s owner backed out leaving the artist without a wall. Lighthouse Ministries on Elm Tree Lane obliged, and now we’ve got this incredible mural. I imagine it glows in the dark because it is just stunning in the evening sun. Great things can come from mistakes. This is one of them.
