Del Valle Starts Mural

Esteban del Valle has commenced painting a mural on the side of Marine Specialties in Provincetown. It is the first project commissioned by the nonprofit Provincetown Public Art Foundation. Over the next couple of weeks, del Valle — who is a former Fine Arts Work Center fellow and is represented by Albert Merola Gallery — will continue work on the mural. At press time, only the colorful geometric background had been completed. The planned scene includes anthropomorphized foxes — a nod to the litter of kits living underneath the former Old Reliable Fish House.
