Mini-Mural Magic in Little India

It’s old, crumbling and wonderful!

This mini-mural runs along a 2 foot high cement support for a wrought iron fence.

This tiger is the first image. All images are separated by wheels.

As it was ground level, & only 2 feet high, a lot of crouching and hunching was involved in capturing this.

I am presenting these images left to right in order, except for the opening peacock pic. Peacock was the perfect showy piece to open with.

Then, the mini-mural wrapped the corner with elephants.

Now the Peacock.

The lotus was the final image.

The very beginning and very end had these guards.

This is the front end. I just could not do panos as I went along. My back was not happy with the crouching and hunching, nor were the Sunday strollers.

Easter Pigeon

There are Easter Bunnies & Easter Eggs, but all I have is a pigeon.

If the pigeon looks like it’s spraying graffiti, well, it is.

I think the colors look Easter Eggy!

This piece was unfinished when I found it on the side of a garage.

The Jeep? Okay, she’s not a sea creature, but unfortunately, she finds them tasty. She insisted on being in this blog post. Of course she is the most glamorous cat on earth at this moment, along with her BF, Emmy.

A Big Beautiful Bouquet

I send these flowers out to Carolee Croft.

Artist: Chris Perez

She has done me the honor of reviewing “Nine Black Lives”, which I wrote several years ago.

Artist: Chris Perez

She called it “glamorous” & we all know how I love glamour. I find it everywhere, even in alleys.

Artist: Chris Perez

I went wild and used up the rest of my camera’s battery when I saw these.

Chris Perez has covered 2 sides of what I would call a very large shack. He’s turned a vicious eyesore, into a thing of beauty with his abstract floral painting.

Carolyn says, ” It is above a travelator and smacks of all things Australian.”

“I’d love to highlight a few of the images such as our delightful Kookaburra; an Auzzie Icon.”

“The wall art image doesn’t show their true high yellow colour, but, I was so pleased to see them highlighted as Australiana.”

“They are the little round bubble-like images below the Koala.”

“Then there’s the Banksia; a native plant so attractive in flower:”

“Australia just isn’t Oz without the Eucalyptus Tree’s Gumnuts acclaimed within author, Illustrator and cartoonist, Mae Gibbs’ children books, including ‘Meet Snugglepot and Cuddlepie’, her lovable bush characters.”

“Once again the wall art composition doesn’t highlight their true essence. However, the Eucalyptus Tree’s Gumnuts are, once again, iconic to Australia:”

“This little fellow is hard to see in the wall art, however, he is there hiding as usual. The Australian Possum is a nocturnal creature, though; he can be heard (if not seen) during the day scampering amongst the trees.”

“(Not to be confused with the Opossum, the Possum lives in trees and keeps very much to himself. He can be ‘tamed’ to a degree with enticing titbits to eat.)”

“Next is a little Golden Bell Frog frog.”

“He too is almost hiding. You can just see him in the lower right hand corner!”

“And last, but not least, is our cuddly Koala. He really is the cutest thing!”
