The people of Houston’s East End recently mixed together some volunteers, artists, and paint materials and came up with a vibrant, visual dish: Turtle Soup.
Measured at 266 feet long, and 20 feet high, Turtle Soup is an eye-catching mural located near Eastside’s Hidalgo Park (known around the neighborhood as “Mexican Park”) on JW Peavy Drive. The mural features various species of marine life — sea turtles, tropical fish, dolphins, even jellyfish — collectively swimming in front of a royal-blue backdrop.
