Airbrush artist <B>Billy Ines</B> provides the talent, while Main Street Manager <I>Shelly Hargrove</I> coordinates. Just short of "photo-realism", the murals are inspired by vintage oil boomtown photographs by Basil Clemons currently housed at the Swenson Memorial Museum. At last count there were six and they range from excellent to fantastic. Most are around the town's major intersection (Hwys 180 and 183). </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.texasescapes.com/TOWNS/Breckenridge/Breckenridge.htm"><DIV> They now have a total of eight murals, and another two in the works. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.texasescapes.com/TOWNS/Breckenridge/Breckenridge.htm"><DIV> And now: January 19, 2001 - We were notified by William Myers that Breckenridge has been proclaimed "The Mural Capital of Texas".
