Probably one of the livelier murals painted on Wellsville’s floodwall
is one currently being worked on by artist Gina Hampson. It’s Pretty Boy Floyd running from the
Feds.
Floyd was captured and killed in a shootout on the Conkle
Farm out near Calcutta after his car broke down passing through
Wellsville. At the time he was on the
FBI’s Most Wanted List.
The mural is not yet completed but showing Floyd stepping
out of the mural in an attempt to escape caught our eye. We wanted to share it with you.

Awesome mural! The artist did a great job of capturing the effect of the figure jumping out of the picture.
Another beautiful mural! Very "unique."
(Thanks again for your coverage of the 'ville news!)
Gina (the artist) was painting yesterday and said that a dog was barking at Pretty Boy thinking he was coming at him. Gina said it was very funny. After looking at the mural, I have to agree that because Pretty Boy is life size and in 3 D, it looks real. The best mural yet!
Pretty Boy Floyd mural is my favorite one. Gina did a fantastic job on this one. Real lifelike!
