A three story high mural honoring the memory of a local singer cleverly works its way down the side of an apartment building in Venice Beach. Most of the mural is out of my frame – I abstract it by incongruously including just the singer’s legs as they flow out of the vines that cover the entrance to the adjoining building. A rising foot acts as the pivot for the entire mural – it seems to rise from a cluster of ornamental grasses. The scale contrast is also incongruous, while the colors of the blouse and trousers work well with the square blue-gray tiles of the adjoining entrance walk.
