This mural was found in the Little Portugal neighbourhood and unfortunately every time I went by it was sunny out and there was reflection on the piece. I recently went by again and it has been painted over. I really liked it so I thought I would post it as I had seen it.

Oh my gosh I can't believe this has been painted over Pat, all that work! I know that's the transient nature of street art but still. I'm so glad you posted it, the artist will be so happy that it has been seen all around the world 💙
ReplyDeleteThis is very good. It has European feel to it. Sad that it has been painted over.
ReplyDeleteHow sad to lose a fine looking mural like this one. It honors the local people and their traditions. Good thing you have a photo of it for posterity.
ReplyDeleteThat is epic!
ReplyDeleteIt looks good, even with the reflections and shadows. Why would it have been painted over?
ReplyDeleteInteresting backstory Pat. I like it too.
ReplyDeleteAn odd time murals do get painted over. Sometimes it's welcome, but usually it is not.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Hemingway's short story--The Old Man and the Sea.
ReplyDeleteHow sad that beautiful mural is now gone, but how nice it still lives thanks to your photo sharing ability. Thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteWithout having read your article about the mural, just seeing the man's face and hat I thought he looked like a Portuguese fisherman. I was right :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity the mural has disappeared, it's fabulous and part of the neighbourhood's history.
Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Pat.

ReplyDeleteA great mural, but sad that it was painted over.
ReplyDeleteOh that's too bad thanks for sharing it. I don't understand those folks that ruin other people's artwork.
