Surprise mural #9

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 would make a great (though challenging) jigsaw puzzle.

Nicely composed with the tree in the upper corner. The shapes and colors, as well as the hidden musicians, are well captured. V

It's really artistic to make the patterns of the figures blend in so well with the background, yet one look at it you can tell there's a band inside. Great presentation ! ~VVVVV~
