It's time once again to join Sami at Sami's Colourful World and her Monday Murals. Even though it's still Sunday in my world, please be aware
that Sami's mural link goes live at 10:01 a.m. my time today. I want to apologize for not visiting everyone last week. By the time I got around to visiting, some didn't use a direct link to their mural, only a link to their blog. I got tired of scrolling and gave up, for which I now apologize.
This mural has Kansas (the wheat and sunflower state) written all over it.
It also pays homage to Wichita's love of bicycles. 
From what I understand, there used to be a bicycle stand in front of the mural, but it has now been replaced with a trash and cigarette butt container.
This mural, created in 2012 is located at 1730 E. Douglas in Wichita, Kansas (USA). It was painted on panels, then mounted on a west facing wall. Jonathan Clark and Karin Clark are the muralists.
If you enjoy murals from around the world, please don't forget to visit Monday Murals at Sami's Colourful World.

What a wonderful mural! Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
So pretty. I hope we'll be able to see the sunflowers soon after all the snow melts. Take care.
Beautiful mural of sunflower and bicycle. Love the happy colors.
Beautiful mural! The good things about Kansas.
You wrote me that your eye was giving you a lot of pain and trouble, and I do hope you are better soon!

That's a gorgeous mural. I have never been Kansas, but it looks to me like I would expect Kansas to look. The bike is a great addition. Hugs-Erika
Love this mural. I am more concerned that you are not feeling well and that your eye is acting up. Please, just lay back and don't do anything strenuous. I am sending healing energy to you.
I am sending hopes that your eyes recover quickly... that the doctors know how to help

...I always admired bikes with a crome spring in front, but I never had one that was this fancy. You found a nice look back.
What a gorgeous mural.
Elizabeth, I am so sorry you are dealing with an eye issue. Just take it easy and rest.
I'm thinking of you.
Sunflowers are my favorite :) I love this huge close-up -what a striking view!
Very nice! Longing for summer
I too love your art and countryside
A vibrant mural, brimming with energy and nostalgia. I wonder if being painted on panels first has allowed it to age so well.
I hear you on struggling with the tech. Because I am on Wordpress, I find it challenging to navigate on blogspot sites, and sometimes wonder if the comments I leave actually make it.

Wonderful mural Elizabeth, the sunflower is just gorgeous!
Thanks for participating in Monday Murals.
What a super find! This really is a wonderful scene Hugs, Chrisx
I love the sunflower. Don't you hate garbage cans in your photos?
That is such a lovely mural. Nice to know about the flowers and wheat cultivation in Kansas. :)
That's a gorgeous mural! The sunflower made me smile, they are such happy flowers and this one is so beautifully painted - love it 😁. Happy wishes! Hugs, Jo x
You've posted lots of interesting murals in the past but I think hands down this is my all time favorite. I love the sunflower and bike (of course) and the painting is very skillful. It's beautifully done. thanks for sharing that one!
I like this a lot!
Hello Ju-Lyn, the panels (MDO, medium density overlay) sign board was actually applied to the wall first. I then painted this on site during what they called Douglas Avenue Art Days in Wichita KS. It was the first mural painted for DAAD a long time ago. I had a great time over the few days painting and talking to art lovers. I'm actually going to refresh the reds this coming spring (red is always the first color to fade). Thank you so very much for the kind compliments and words of encouragement. Jonathan
Sami, my name is Jonathan Clark, I painted this mural. Thank you so very much for the kind and encouraging words. I thank all your followers and their kind statements also. I just finished a large mural on Delano BBQ companies wall in west Wichita ks. Drop by y'all and check it out. It's really big!! 27' x 40'. About 3x's larger than this bicycle mural. Thanks again. Jonathan.
