New mural for the Wimberley Cafe by artist Pat Rawlings

At last week’s meeting, Wimberley City Council members voted to give $12,500 towards a new downtown mural by renowned artist, Pat Rawlings. The cafe’s owners, Jay and Jen Bachman, teamed up with Rawlings to create what they hope will be another stunning mural for a town already known for its affinity for the arts.

While it is still in the planning stage, the main focus of the 700-square foot mural will be the south-facing exterior wall of the cafe’s new expanded kitchen on Henson Road, directly behind the fence. The mural will progress around the corner and then continue onto the recessed wall behind the dumpsters.

Rawlings’ often very real style can be viewed at Crisis Bread Basket, where he completed a mural in 2017.
