I find this piece beyond interesting. I found it in an alley, twice.
The first time was on May 6, 2020. There were no leaves on the trees, it was sunny and the bare branches’ shadows made a veil on her face.
The next time was June 8, 2020. The leaves had grown in on the trees, and the sun was in a different position. The shadows made a lacy frame.

On my walk to Graffiti Alley, I spotted this beauteous paste-up in a window.
Pasted on the inside, you can see the glue around the edges.
I adore all of the rich details.
Lo and behold, there was the beauty, again, in Graffiti Alley. I had just finished shooting what I posted yesterday.
Again, pasted-up, this time on what seems a mud cloth pattern.
There’s more art along this wall, but I’m skipping to the end of the alley. I make a right turn, into a scaffold tunnel. It’s mostly filled with writing, and there’s not enough space to back up and photo each piece. 
In this narrow tunnel, I find the beauty, again. However, this time it’s a totally new version of the paste-up.
I squished in some angled shots, as there was no room to back up for a dead on.
The details are fantastic.

Someone painted George Floyd. Someone painted Jamal Francique. Someone painted Zianna Oliphant. Many painted “I can’t breathe”. I wanted to start this series with a portrait of Martin Luther King Jr. In the end I decided to reveal my experience from the beginning, as I discovered this multitude of art and messages.
I entered Graffiti Alley from the west end. I was greeted by a mural of Malcom X.
“You don’t have to be a man to fight for freedom. All you have to do is to be an intelligent human being.”
After having basked in this fabulous mural for a long time, I head east into the alley.
“Breonna Taylor – Say Her Name”
This is Part One (There’s just way too, much for 1 post!)

Found this when I went to look for a different piece.
The piece I was looking for had been fouled with urine & the word pee written all over it.
As you can see, I was still rewarded for my efforts.
However, I had to work around a parked car.
I could not get a full straight on shot.
Still, worked the 2 spots I was given.

I didn’t get a shot of the name, but it is in the lower left of this shot:
In some ways this is the opposite of my last post.
It’s a very wonderful piece!

Found this in Graffiti Alley, yesterday.
Make Outside Great Again = MOGA
Then on the way home I grabbed a shot of a bit of the tent city on my street. I saw a child about 4 years old in it, and a man in a wheel chair. Good News… there’s a second tent city across the street.

Could be “The Half Decent” or maybe that’s a comment on the subject of the art by the artist?
Okay, closing comments here. I’m off to do a more pleasant post on Art Gowns, finish reading/escaping into a book by Shehanne Moore and drawing heroines!
Love and Peace to All!
All the BGF’s & dog have been cooped up.
We stayed home.
Some restrictions have been lifted, under certain conditions.
Happy to say, I am back in action in my beloved alleys, and observing conditions.
