I adore this style of street art: retro and modern all at once.

Graffiti Lux Art & More 
That is really a nicely done painting. Although I have to say I do not like the green lettering symbols, tags, whatever they are. The piece with the figure and the cityscape would be much more pleasing to me.
Understood!
I do like the lettering. When I just started taking pics of street art and murals, all of the street art was writing… the crazy lettering. I developed a love of it. Then it went out of style, and other art was all the rage. Now, it’s made a comeback of sorts. Anything goes today!
I adore this so much and not because my first blog was titled Heartafire but for the mischievous and courageous glow in this this darling pixies face. She is so sweet and beautiful and such a work of art! Thank you dear Resa xoxoxo
Welcome dear Holly! I adore it, too! So, it’s a pixie!! Of course! How did I miss that? I wasn’t sure what sex it was. DUH!
She is sweet and beautiful.
Thank you Holly! xoxoxoxo
Her little pixie face and eyes give her away. ☺️xoxoxo
I see that, now. I was looking for a deeper meaning, which I now see doesn’t exist where I was looking for it. However, I still could exist in another angle. xoxoxoxo
Well, there could be many angles and yours is probably right , you’re the walk art mystic. Whatever interpretation she’s gorgeous and the artist is awesome and you are for sharing this magical vision. Love!
xoxoxo
Aww, you are the sweetest!
It is a magical vision.
Yes, I am buttering you up. I’ve been working on Lala, and have a great story line to insert yet another thorn into the side of RR.
Will write soon, with the idea.
Oh no,I have a feeling there will be fireworks lol!
And don’t you just love the red hair! There is enough fire to ignite the creativity in all of us!!!
Hair Afire!!!!
Holly makes me think of Heart’s Afire. Turns out that’s not the title of the song, but it should be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhW3P7_jvWY&list=TLPQMTYwMjIwMjGDMqBMh3lv2A&index=1x
I haven’t heard that in ages!! Thank you!!!
One of my very first dates with Norm was a EW&F concert. It was mesmerizing!
She’s a red haired little imp. Love this so much! 🧑🏻🦰
That is very well done and the lettering matches the hands, as if she commands those words.
Many hugs for the ‘framed’ innocent artist!!!!!!!!!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
It’s an interesting piece, for sure.
Yes,I was framed in an art attack.
Thank you my dear.. I am innocent! Okay, time to lie down a bit before dinner!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
“Art attack”!!!!! ….but you know well how to tame it, so, get rest, heal and then… art it is!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxooooxxoxoxo
❤️❤️💖🤗😘🤗💖❤️❤️
Love it! Now I have “Girl on Fire” going through my head.
LOL! Just watched the video, because I didn’t know the song. I totally get it!!!!!!
Perfect!!!
And did you ever read or see The Hunger Games?
Embarrassedly, no. I do know about the story, though. (Big deal)
Nothing to be embarrassed about–there are lots of very popular movies I’ve never seen. 😀 Costumes/clothes designing are a big part of the spectacle.
Ah! It’s fun designing a spectacle! ….usually…
So do I!!!
😀
Those eyes have a very special look – it goes deep under the skin…
Agree! It’s a very neat piece!
Very retro-superhero-ish, Resa. 🙂 I can see her rocking one of your creations, maybe the color of her hair with lots of flame-like bits.
janet
Yeah, kind of super hero-ish! Love the red hair!
I do have a red haired hero. Flamed hair are a great idea. 😀
“retro and modern all at once” …and artistically demanding, one of the best you’ve shown to my opinion!
Thank you! I adore the combination of writing (which I consider graffiti art) with a bit of classic art setting it off.
It’s like when an orchestra does a rock song.
He looks like he has powerful magic…..
Yes,I agree, powerful magic. Holly says it is a pixie, not a he or she. I like that!
I do not know why but when I watch this mural painting I think of Venice !! Please , Resa , don’t ask me why! All I can say is this painting is very impressive.
Love ❤
Michel
Thank you! Lol, i won’t ask. However, art can make us think whatever we need it to. At least it makes us think! ❤
This dude is not gonna mess wiht that girl. She looks like she could kick my butt from to next Tuesday. Beautiful artwork Very powerful.
Feel better.
Lol! She has powerful hands, and could probably single handedly break though a pile of 100 bricks!
Working on getting better. Thank you dear Lonely! 💜
You seem to be back with a vengeance! I like the idea of your Youtube channel!
Wonderful! I’m with Holly – so definitely a pixie face!
And that lettering on either side makes it look like she is popping up from ice shards and then throwing her fireballs above it.
LOVE!
What a fab imagination you have, dear Thunder! LOVE!
Just sharing what I see! Glad you LOVE!
😀
🙂
Wonderful. I love the way you zoom in with your photos. Such incredible detail and an amazing expression.
I agree – it gives the perspective of walking up to the mural.
Thank you, Diana. I’m very taken with street art, and want to share it as the experience I have when I see it, and not just 1 static shot!
Thank you, Diana! I reblogged Sue’s poem. It really is a beauty. Thank you for telling, me, us about it!
Thank you, Diana! When the art inspires, I aspire!
I see you saw the reblog I did, for Sue. Thank you for the link. You are right! The presentation with the photos is not just lovely, it is sublime!
I like how you triangulated and zoomed in on the face. Well done.
Thank you, JT! I appreciate that. I’m not the artist, but I make art with my pics in an attempt to more fully share the experience of seeing the art in real life.
The colors are perfect against the backdrop of that brick wall.
Agree!
They eyes mesmerize, don’t they. I agree with Holly that this is a pixie. The brick canvas adds a dramatic flare with was used by the artistic to accentuate the message. If you look closely at the hair position, there seems to be a power centre. Wouldn’t this make a great character for a graphic novel? Such power in this presentation. Ah, Resa, you are a mural whisperer.
A mural whisperer? Oooo, I like that! Okay!
I’m a huge fan of the walls the artists paint on: brick, stucco, wood, aluminum siding, anything!
They are inspired by the brick, etc. I have been with street artists, as they drool over a wall. It’s a wonderful thing!
Vibrant and mystical … but on first glance, I thought of a young Chef Boyardee.
Hahahahha! Ahh, Frank, love ya!
That means you can see it!
OMG!!!! yes
YES!!!!!
Feeling better today?
A bit. I need to leave my desk soon, and put my foot up with some ice. You know, it’s like 2 steps forward and 1 step back.
Nonetheless all in all, it seems good. I’d like to wear the compression bandage, but there is a nasty bruise on the ankle bone, and the bandage is killer!
Ouch … Sounds like it will take time
I absolutely love this. The look on his face is wonderful and the colors fabulous. It’s magical and powerful. Excellent.
Agree! I found this quite powerful.
Jazz hands!!
True! Good thought!!
Wow! It’s as if she is lurching out of the wall straight towards me. Amazing street art and brilliantly photographed to create a full effect!
Thank you Annika! When the art is inspiring, it’s a lot of fun to shoot it!
That’s one insense stare and some hardcore chaos raining down. I love it, powerful.
Agree! It is powerful.
The eyes have it, young Resa. Eyes that demand respect…or else! A lovely gal. Regards, The Old Fool
OMG!!! Missed this comment! Oh dear, what will TOF think of me now! Luv ya! xo
Awesome mural, Resa. I hope you’re doing better each day. Hugs on the wing.
Thank you, Teagan. {{{hugs}}}
Fiery and pulsating! Can you decode the tag?
Hope you are on the mend. Cheers!
I cannot decipher the writing here.
Although at times I can. Still on the mend! Thank you very much! Hope all is well with you.
Cheers!
She’s throwing out power and I LOVE it!
Me too! xx
