I thought this was a well done piece, but there was a big ass vehicle parked.
I couldn’t get a straight on shot, and ended up with demented angles. Those are interesting, but I just wanted a straight on.
I tried everything… reflections…
Next time was even tighter between the vehicle, and the art.
Took pics of the cute motorbike. A Harley or BMW is a motorcycle.
The time after that, I was impressed with how close the vehicle was parked to the wall, without knocking off the rear view mirror.
Then it happened on my 4th time walking by.
There was an old, low car there, and I could take head on pics.

So loving the decals!
Graffiti Lux Art & More 
I’m glad you persevered! Lovely colors.
Though I do like that reflection photo (as you might suspect). 😀
Thank you!
I thought of you as I was putting the reflections in the post! 😀
Aww–it’s nice to be thought of! 😀
😀
That is a nice piece. Pickup trucks. We have lots of pickups out here that are good a blocking things. I would guess the motorcycle is a Ducati and Kawasaki. It’s hard to tell. I can’t read the name on the one side of the bike, but it looks to be too long for Ducati.
Usually I can still get the art, but every once in awhile the trucks and SUV’s mess it up!
I believe you are right… I remember seeing Kawasaki.
Hi Resa, the art is fantastic as per usual and FYI the bike is a Kawasaki Z650. The green framework is a giveaway and look closely on the fuel tank near the front fork there is a Z logo in the chevron . And I’m glad your perseverance paid off you got some great pics.
You are right! Kawasaki it is. Excellent!
Seems light sabers are not the only thing you know.
Thanks, yeah, I’m glad I kept checking. I do like the piece a lot.
Haha! I just zoomed in on the first picture of your post, if you are careful you can enlarge the area with the bike’s fuel tank and read the name! I did go to the Kawasaki website to double check the model type though. I am a motor sports fan (cars bikes…planes) and have a few motorcycle race team inspired hilts on my site.
Well, there you go!
I thought I saw Kawasaki, but I was more interested in the art. Then the bike grew on me! Thanks for checking!
She was probably relieved that truck had gone. Seriously, you have some great captures here, especially the mirror ones. It is quite a pice. QUITE a piece.
Thanks Shey! I love the way the artist coloured in the face. I’ll try something like that with one of my one-eye drawings!
A fab job been done here. Truly. The face is brilliant.
thank you for not giving up, I love the results
Yeah! It was a strange thing to get stuck in my craw, but it did!
Your persistence paid off, Resa, and luckily for us. I see lots of BATs as I like to call them, big ass trucks, here in Arizona the kind that won’t fit in an ordinary garage. 🙂
Happy Sunday!

BATs… very cute! I’m going to use that one, myself. It’s perfect.
Hope you are having a great week!
This us awesome, I am in love with the bikes ! Great shots Resa am I’m glad you stuck with it! xoxo
Holly!
I totally thought of you when I saw the bike. I adore the decals. It’s a bit small and cute, but I was still fascinated by it. xoxo
That’s a beautiful wall art. The bike goes perfectly. Great find Resa 😘
Outstanding colors. The chained fence stimulates the mind.
Yes, it made me wonder!
That would be a good discussion over wine.
Fabulous shots, Sorceress!
The colours are spectacular and the reflections are really cool.
What a pretty bike, too!
Thank you, Thunder!
I admit I was out walking for hours yesterday (found art!!), and have been drawing a lot.
That’s my excuse for not answering your lovely comment sooner!
Of course tonight I want to draw. Took out some fabrics for the next Art Gown.
Drowning in creativity, makes a big pile of dishes, as well as getting behind on comments!
Dahlink! You don’t ever need an excuse. Life is meant to be lived!
Enjoy letting your creative out. The world needs more and more and more! xoxoxo

Hello dear!
I know the cars make it hard to take pictures of art in the street.
There are many artists who paint in the street. I enjoy documenting their work on this blog.
I also love to make my own drawings. My best are the Art Gowns. My Art Gowns are my best art! Love you, too! ❤
Most beautiful hobby,dear Resa!! I will see your Art gowns.so much thanks to kind reply.much love and big hugs❤
For some reason I’m loving the car reflection pic you took, it made me laugh!
Thank you for trying to get these pics to share with us Resa, I appreciate it and I hope others do, too.
Always happy to make someone laugh!
I quite like taking reflections! I think people who like street art, appreciate!
❤ You have a great week, Resa! 😉
You too!
Dear amiga artista, thanks for gracing us again with such fantastic shots of fantastic art pieces. Really love the picture of art meeting car reflection! Gracias por brightening my day with this:) Much love and big hugs xoxoxo
Dear Gypsy,
I’m always very happy when you come for visits!
The reflections are a lot of fun.
Ever since Drew, The Lonely Author, made us both “Beautiful Women of WordPress, I have felt a sisterhood with you.
Now, we await his recovery. It is a long time.
I wish him the very best. I should do another post for him, soon.
Sending muchos besos! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Dear lovely Resa, aww what an absolutely beautiful message dear! You touch my heart, honestly😘 Such a pleasure to take in your precious art, I love love love it. Sincerely! I adore what you said about feeling a kinship, a sacred sisterhood with me. Same here, and sacred sisterhood is a concept and feeling that is becoming more and more important to me, so thank you SO much for choosing this word and sentiment here! Women supporting women YES!!!😘😘😘😘 Love it 😘😘😘 Yes, Drew did a wonderful thing there (and always with his poems). I hope he recovers asap. He is a wonderful, loving, and incredibly soul-full human!! Love the idea of another post for him! Mil besos amiga! Take good care of yourself xoxoxoxoxo
Very nice piece. I like the mirror shots actually. The eyes are captivating on this one, and the expression classic. 🙂
I really like this piece, and I am very fond of the reflection shots, as well.
😀 😀
Why didn’t you just heave the big ass vehicle out of the way? Tip it over onto its roof for super angles and shots. That’s where having Big Arnie as a sidekick would come in handy.
Yes, another fab idea! Not.
Of course you’re right, Big Arnie is the answer.
Be great if he came along on my adventures, to move garbages cans (always full) tip trucks (as you’ve mentioned), wrangle down fire escapes, crush cars, move heavy metal industrial trash and kick all kinds of loose refuse out of the way.
You’d make a fine team. Graffiti Busters or some such.
My dear Resa!! Are you artist or fond of painting.this mural is made by you?????a huge painting.in Canada,all cities have these murals.please reply.
I take pictures of the murals for everyone to see.
I have only painted 3 small ones, with poetry.

Beautiful artwork. I love colors and the way the face is painted in sections. It’s wonderful and it was fun seeing it all the different angles. Very cool and I like the decals too. 🙂
Yeah… it was worth waiting. A fun piece & a fun adventure – all in all! 😀
I love the reflection pictures – and I do hate big ass vehicles…
I know! Big Ass Vehicles… for what?
Thank you, and I am so happy you like the reflections!
Love how you USED the big ass vehicle to your advantage.
I gotta do what I gotta do!
Lol… I’ve climbed fences, fire escapes, gates have magically opened, I’ve gone up in a scissor lift, crawled under electric wires, stood on roofs and more. Ah, all this helps keep me young (ish in a way) excited and wanting more.
And you do it so well.
TY! ❦
No. Thank you. You’re quite brilliant.
Well done, my dear friend and mural treasure hunter. You continue to inspire us to not give up! The right time will come and we must be ready. LOVE the mural. So much passion and fire.
Thank you Rebecca!
You are right about not giving up.
I walked for 4 hours yesterday. I found some cool art.
There was this mural I went looking for over a year ago. I gave up, but the image of it remained, and disdain of not finding it remained in my brain.
I glanced down an alley. In the distance were bold colours. It had to be art. As I approached I realized it was THAT mural. OMG..
How, why, reasons I didn’t find it when I first look will be revealed when I post it. I adore it!
I had goosebumps reading this comment!! WOW
So exciting!
I’m glad you persevered, Resa, she is gorgeous. I love the vibrant colors and that reflection shot. You took a challenge head-on and created brilliance! 💖💖💖🥰
Thank you so much, Lauren!!
I keep on walking, and I keep on finding more art!!! 💖💖💖🥰💖💖💖🥰
Yay!! Glad you do!! 😍😍😍😍
❤ xx
All worth it! Wonderful piece! I have to admit though that those reflections are also wonderful! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
❤️💖❤️🐾❤️💖❤️
Reflections are always lots of fun!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxo ❤ ❤
Yes they are!!!!!
🤗🥰🤗🥰🤗

People are so inconsiderate… Climbing on the bonnet (hood?) wouldn’t quite cut it would it? 😉
The hood would not have been an angle I care about, unless I was 100% sure not to damage the paint, or cause a dent. Vehicles are like tin foil these days. 😀
Also, it was parked so close to the art, I would have got a close up of an eye or the lips. Lol!
LOL indeed. The angle didn’t look good and the owner might take offense…
Thanks for the art, effort and smile…
You are welcome!
Vehicles, not content with clogging the atmosphere, have to get in the way of art. Glad you got a win in the end though! Hope you and yours are well?
Interesting comment, Ste J. (kind of funny, too!)
I fear it’s worse than a clogging, though.
Me &mine are good, and well. Sending the sam wish to you!
Thank you, we are all well, pottering about and making the best of things. Trying to watch lots of documentaries to keep up with thoughtful things as reading time is at a bit of a premium but at least I can keep an ear (if not an eye) on the documentary with Amelia running riot.
Delightful, Resa. I’m impressed by your dauntless pursuit of a head-on shot of the head. 😀 You made it a fun whimsical post — but I realize you put a ton of work into it. Hugs on the wing.
Thank you, Teagan!
So happy you see the whimsy.
{{{Hugs}}}
Good job – especially considering the obstacle!
Thank you!
In some way the obstacle gave me something to live for, on a very minor level. 😀
When I visit Toronto, I want a street art tour pleeeaassseeee
Oh Kelley! It would be my pleasure!
So much to show you!!!
I’m SERIOUS!
I believe!
I actually like the reflection photos the most, even though they weren’t what you were trying for at first! Superb art.
It is quite great!! I like the reflections, too!
xxoo
xoxo
Your dedication paid off handsomely. Wonderful mural and reflections! Keep walking, Resa.
I will keepon walking. Thank you, Sidran!
Thank you for your great efforts, Resa! Four times passing by to get the images sounds horrible. Yes, some are real artists in parking close to walls, without harming their believed cars.
I don’t mind going back & back. Then I might find something new!
Parking is such an issue here, that the cars don’t bother me, and I have moved garbage bins.. BUT when they plant a tree in front of art… I just wonder why?
Dont mind parking issues, Resa! Here we have them too, but in the rural rurality, with so much place, you could find free parking space around 200 kilometers.Lol
Loved the details and your patience in getting the shot you wanted Resa…. The fencing so well done, so conformative…. Not easy I know….. freehand…. 😀 Loved the colours too ❤
It’s a pretty great piece, Sue. These works are always so much more exciting in real life. This is why I present the way I do… not just 1 static shot of the piece, but delving in or out of it!
xxoxoxo
I can imagine… they are beautifully done..
