It was blobs of color & I thought I saw an eye.
The pics reveal a tiger that I couldn’t see in the alley at 1:00 P.M. under a bright sun.

Tres Hermanas
An excellent find in a skinny alley!
I wonder if her name is Theresa? (the harvester, maiden bearing ears of corn)
Blow the following up for a big shot!
Love the braid holder!

Power of Love
This is for Georgiann.
I found a massive mural, and enough art my battery died, but this is the one piece that truly moved me.
I’m calling Street Heart.

Cock of the Walk
Yes, it is a colloquial idiom!
the cock of the walk (British old-fashioned)
A man who acts as if he is more fashionable or important than other people.
1. (informal) a person who asserts himself in a strutting pompous way
Well this cock is strutting around a cityscape and trash bins.
He is quite glorious (sorry for the shadow. It’s the sun’s fault not mine!)
There is also a signature (or 2?) in writing.
Great reflection!

Staircase of Dreams – São Paulo
São Paulo, Brazil is back with a look at “Staircase of Dreams”: in Portuguese, “Escadão dos Sonhos” courtesy of Carolee Croft! “
“Staircase of Dreams” the title given to the project by the community organization, is described by Carolee.
” This staircase is located in the Pompeia neighbourhood of São Paulo, Brazil.”
“The artwork was commissioned by a local community organization, Cidade Ativa (Active City).”
“Previously, there had been concrete walls around each platform. These structures had enabled a lot of drug deals in the area due to the tall walls that could hide dealers from view.”
“Now, the metal railings allow this beautiful art to be seen instead. There are some pictures and videos of what it used to look like and how the project was done (it looks like they had a lot of fun) at this site: STAIRCASE OF DREAMS”
☆
More of the Staircase!

“The first time I came across it, I was lucky enough to encounter the artist painting the fox.”
“I got a photo of the artist’s dog as I walked up the staircase.”
Carolee has named this piece “Fox of Death”
“In photos taken a few days later, the “Fox of Death” is completed.”
I really enjoy the before and after shots!
“It’s a very mysterious painting, and unfortunately my Portuguese wasn’t good enough yet to ask the artist about what it means. Any ideas?”

⭐ THANK YOU, CAROLEE! ⭐
Carolee Croft is a Canadian writer currently living in São Paulo, Brazil. She writes novels that are in her own words “I hope not too naughty for your audience”. I find that a tad endearing coming from an admitted fan of Spongebob. You can find her books on Carolee’s Books on Amazon
Blue Lass & Colored Sun Glass
Guess I’m on a blue streak.
Paintings on corrugated walls are usually hard to see, let alone photograph.
However, this one works great.
If you look carefully, in spite of the weeds, you can see the writing says “Kizmet”.
It was thrilling to find a large window reflecting this gorgeous piece across the street. It’s a bit like … “Where’s Waldo?” Seriously, can you find me?
