Painted lady


There is a part of town in Phoenix that is covered with Mexican-themed murals. I spent a little time shooting there during my recent trip to Arizona. I really liked this mural especially, maybe it's the girlie-morbidism that I find appealing or perhaps it's the color. For more murals, take a look at Monday Murals. Photo taken in February 2013.

  2. She reminds me of some actress whose name I can't recall...interesting for sure.

    I meant to tell you how much I liked the photo on your Toronto blog this morning. Very artsy and well-done!

  3. Well done...but, a smidge too much on the morbid side for me.

  4. She's so well detailed that the morbid parts fade away!

  5. A lovely girl who has died and returned to her loved ones on Day of the Dead. The black butterfly is a nice touch too! Did you know in Mexico they consider the return of the Monarch butterflies by the thousands to be the return of their dead?

  6. I knew it had to be Mexican inspired, it reminded me of their Day of the Dead art.

  8. Kind of a fleshed out Caterina. We have something similar her but she's more skeletal and is smoking. Yikes! I like the references to the Day of the Dead. These murals must have been lots of fun to see. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.

  9. @Marie - I did not know that about the butterflies, but it makes a lot of sense. The butterfly is one of the things that attracted me to this mural.
