Temp was +40C w/humidity. We were cooking in Honeyland .
Nonetheless, when Zena & I spotted this piece on the way home, it was a must capture. It didn’t matter that my hair was drenched in sweat. (Uch!)
It’s a classic, and I love it!

The artist is unknown to me, but the signature/writing surrounds the beauty.

Wow, +40C – you must have been melting, Resa! 😉
Fabulous image. Such artistry in those tats… 🙂
xoxoxo
Yes, melting is a good word. It’s the humidity (humidex) that makes it feel like 40. It was about 35 in dry degrees.
I really like this piece. It’s different. xoxo
What an interesting mural – wonder what the artist was thinking.
I wonder what the artist was thinking, too!
The face is fascinating. The “white” part is like a mask, and under it is a beautiful woman of color.
It is very mask like. It makes me think of the band KISS & their crazy make-up.
It does have an element of Kiss about it.
I think classic is the best description Resa! I love this! 🙂
It sort of makes me think of the band KISS! 🙂
Your right no wonder I liked it. 🙂
It reminds me of a New Orleans type of mural, not sure why, perhaps your mention of the crazy heat. It’s wonderfully expressive.
I get the N.O. reference. Yes, the heat, but also the death & voodoo connection. It is very expressive, & I hope some are not repelled by this “KISS” like image of this awesome face.
They were the ultimate marketable band! Can’t believe I missed that reference!
Haven’t seen this one yet, wow!
Yeah, she’s a beauty!
