What is a “mural”?
A mural by definition is a painting that is done directly on a wall regardless of size or paint used by the artist. There is some controversy in the art world today about murals that are first painted on canvas then glued to walls. Some believe that a mural on canvas is not a mural but instead it is a painting. My personal feeling is that because the painting is attached with glue to the wall, that it then becomes hand painted canvas that is hung like wall paper. However, should the artist or contractor glue canvas to a wall, then paint on the canvas, it is a mural. (A mural is a painting that is created directly on a wall, the surface of the wall matters not.)
