A new mural on the side of a barn in Kirby, Vermont is turning heads.

"It's the Bernie barn!" exclaimed owner Meryl Lebowitz, who showed necn the supersized depiction of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, who is running for President of the United States as a Democrat.

The mural shows a close-up view of Sanders, featuring his glasses and expressive eyes. "It just makes me happy to see him on our barn," Lebowitz said.
Lebowitz, an oil painter, and her sculptor husband, David Tanych, live part of the year in Vermont and part of the year in the Los Angeles area. They invited Venice, California-based muralist Jules Muck to work her spray paint magic on their property in late August. The work took about a day, the couple said, with Muck working off a photograph of Sanders she found online for inspiration.

2. It's a good depiction.

Bernie's eyes are always watchful, and it's fun to try to guess what he's thinking while he looks at something or someone. You can tell he's an even more intriguing fellow under the surface. I just hope I get to meet him one day.
