It's one thing to see wonderful art in Colorado, it's another to see that art come to life via modern technology. You could walk right by this mural in Loveland, Colorado, and just the face-value beauty.

There's an Interactive Mural in Downtown Loveland

Tens of thousands of people have either walked by, or driven by, this mural in Downtown Loveland and not known that there's more to it than just what you see on that wall.

'Blossoming Reflections' at the Lincoln Gallery was officially completed in July of 2024

Loveland is widely known for its sculptures throughout the town, which are all great. Loveland's art scene also includes murals that you'll find in the town. This one, just south of 5th Street along Lincoln definitely stands out.

To be honest, I didn't even know what this mural does until I was on a tour that the city had put on, about older buildings in Downtown. The tour leader stopped at the mural and was discussing how when one thing is improved in town, others are inspired to make their own improvements, such as the mural.

The Lincoln Gallery needed a new mural for their north side wall, a very long wall. According to the Reporter Herald, in the end, the project went to A.J. “Adden Joule” Davis. Davis created "Blossoming Reflections."

With the mural, you'll see a QR code; when you scan that code it takes you to an "augmented reality" depiction of the mural. You will need the Artivie app.
