My comment flew away before I could finish, so here it is again. This is crazy, now I read the comment above. I said the same, reminding me on Diego Rivera, may be the intensity, and the political times that I see here! Don't see your "normal" weekly post for March 8-13, so maybe it's still in the works? I missed your thumbnail last week, so am checking if you are doing okay? Hope so! Still very cold? (Norm from Thurs. Door was commenting on it a few days ago).

I’m late visiting because the storms that raged through my area for the past two days knocked out my internet. What fabulous murals of this tragedy. I really like how the space was used to the artist's advantage. These are simply stunning.
...a lot going on there!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the influence of Diego Rivera! Interesting mural.
