This is new since the lockdown.
I found it in an alley I frequent.
Egads I adore it! What a classic!
A different angle. I adore the drainpipe integration.

I found this on March, 9. It was the last time I rode the subway.
I look forward to the day I can venture out into another area of the city, but I’m not willing to risk public transportation at this time.
The parts with the eyes are. fabulous.

Be still my beating heart! Is that Hera, Marina Kanavaki’s doggie?
I’m sure it is!
Marina rescued Hera from a shelter. Who wouldn’t be tail wagging happy if Marina rescued them?
I think Marina said they called her Queen at the shelter.
An obvious assumption.
Oh yeah, there’s other bits in this alley mural.
Different, huh!
I may have over shot, but it is Hera, after all!
I wanted to make sure I got all of the angles!

PORTRAIT OF HERA BY MARINA
Marina, thank you for all of the pics you sent me for the post!
Recently, Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene from Teagan’s Books offered free copies of her book; “The Glowing Pigs – Snort Stories of Atonement, Tennessee” to her readers.
Teagan thought that the the shorts of her magical glowing pigs would brighten up some of our days during isolation. As for me, I love love loved it, and am still basking in the glow. I have gone through my pics to find art of pigs, and return some of the whimsy & joy.
Above are 2 pigs painted by “Bacon”. Odd name considering the art is on the side of a vegan restaurant. I’m considering them to be the Siskel and Ebert of pig stories.
“Two Snouts Up”, they snort in unison!
Deme and Honeybell, 2 sweet and lovely glowing pigs, are the stars of the Snorts. They use their magic to do good things. Honeybell wishes she was as bold as Deme, but they are partners in adventure.
“So what? You have to be a good looking gal, to get to be a glowing pig?” grunts the disgruntled regular street art pig.
A much wiser pig, from a Chinese Zodiac mural, knows different.
“I think all pigs are wonderful in Teagan’s glowing mind. I’ll have to read more to be sure, but I’m making the prediction here!”
The Glowing Pigs stories take place in Atonement, Tennessee. Teagan has written two main books about Atonement: Atonement, Tennessee & Atonement in Bloom.
Find all links to Teagan’s The Atonement, TN universe of urban fantasies at the end of the post!
Besides the many other books Teagan has written, she engages us all in a serial most Saturdays. Right now we’re river boating, and participating, on The Delta Pearl. So hop aboard, enjoy the trip and check out some of Teagan’s Other Books by clicking on the Riverboat Steampunk image above.

A canvas of flowers in Holly’s 
Upside down garden.
I love hanging round realities of prose
No right, no nor wrong
Just a song
Metaphors & entendres.
Roses in bloom & sea birds in hand
She hangs her fruits from stray branches
In Holly’s upside down garden.

Written for Holly – HoH
This is a very old mural, painted on stucco, chipped & weathered. Still, when I saw it, I loved it and I thought “OMG that’s young Holly”
PS. She did hang upside down from the monkey bars. So did I. The rest is secret!
Found this in a small underpass.
The colours are gorgeous. Here’s the east side.
It is very different from any other native street art I have found.
There are a lot of faces on the west side.
The faces are in organic things, like tree trunks.
I have turtle love.

Our friend Francina – Poetry and Art wrote a post, Share the Light .
Francina asks, “Why don’t we all share the light as a sign of hope? We can do this by posting for instance an image of a candle, a lamp, the light of a lighthouse etc. etc. in a blog post with the heading: Share the Light.”
Many of our blog pals have posted a “Share the Light” and Francina has reblogged them. I hope more join in with a post, and don’t forget to link to Francina’s blog!
She quotes the refrain from Leonard Cohen’s ANTHEM (1982) For those who don’t know it, here is the poet, himself. His opening statement also applies today.
