- While some people were enjoying the warmth of their homes following
this past weekend's storm, a young man in Washington County decided to
put a personal touch on the shoveled snow.
Philip Tosten painted a graffiti mural on the shoveled banks of snow in front of a home on Virginia Avenue.
Tosten and his friends decided to create the artwork after shoveling the driveway.
They say the project took 10 cans of paint and up to five hours to complete.
People have been stopping, taking pictures and giving him a thumbs up on an awesome job.
"It's
just not too often that we get this much snow. I figured it would be
nice to do for Christmas, people would enjoy it," he says.
Tosten has been painting since 1997 and hopes one day to do it for a business painting on t-shirts and canvasses.
