Artist  Eric Lindbergh spent four days painting the mural (which measure 9-by-30 feet) on the side of a local sports bar.

Douglas caught win of the mural while in London and tweeted her gratitude for the work of art.

“WOW!!! This is amazing!! #so honored,”

Of course the Olympian can’t go inside the bar, but she can always admire the mural.
