Surprise mural #7

When we were on our way to the National Building Museum, I saw something colorful down the street so wanted to get a closer look. Turns out there was a series of 10 murals decorating an office building under major renovation, created by Luther Wright, @lwart, a DC-based artist recognized for vibrant murals, window art and community focused public art projects, often elevating themes of Black history and resilience.

This artist always makes the creatures look lively with the simple eyes he creates. The eyes don't have to be big, but just one stroke or two, and sometimes plus the simple patterns for the lips, then his creatures look alive. Wonderful capture of this mural as well. ~VVVVV+~

A terrific mural and I've been carefully examining it. Is it a door? I can't see a handle. Maybe it looking slightly open at the top is part of the mural - painted to look that way?

What a delightful mural!
I love the door being slightly ajar!
