On Oct. 31, artist Amanda Lutz painted an interactive mural featuring Virginia’s state flower, the dogwood, at Fairfax City’s Scout on the Circle development. It’s outside the parking garage across from the Giant grocery store. Geared for Instagram photos, the mural will include a custom-made bench, so people sitting there will look as if they’re swinging on the Scout circle ring in front of the dogwood blossoms.

A mural artist from California, Lutz has been paining for about 15 years, and this project took her two days to complete. “It’s to highlight the spirit of the area and honor the community,” she said. “I hope it brings some smiles to people’s faces.”
