A street artwork showing a young girl firing a slingshot of flowers at a building in Bristol is by Banksy, the elusive artist has confirmed.
Residents in the Barton Hill area of the city woke on Thursday to find the striking piece on the side of a building.
The artwork, in Marsh Lane, features a stencilled image of a girl firing a slingshot of red flowers and leaves.
Banksy confirmed the piece by posting two images of it on his official Instagram account and website in the early hours of Valentine’s Day.

The artwork appeared on a rented home owned by Edwin Simons, who celebrated his 67th birthday on Thursday. His daughter, Kelly Woodruff, 37, found out about it after being tagged in a Facebook post.
“We’ve been down here all day and it’s just been a complete buzz of excitement,” she said. “There’s so many people coming and enjoying it, taking pictures, it’s fantastic.
“There’s been a lot of debate if it is a Banksy or not. Most people I’ve spoken to think it 100% is, and they’re naming it the Valentine’s Banksy. It’s incredible and beautiful.”
