During the winter break,  I made plans to visit a newish coffee  bar in PB...

Accompanying me this particular morning was a former co-worker and friend...

"Succulent Landscape" mural at the Mini Market - 99 Cents and Up, Paradise Hills

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure to visit a new coffee shop in Paradise Hills...

That post, however, is forthcoming. I would like to highlight an amazing mural seen on the south facing wall of this store...

It's really a beautiful work of art, painted by the artists, her friends and family as well as the local community...

"Radiating Vibrance" mural @ La Palapa Market, Paradise Hill

Across the ways from the "Succulent Landscape" mural is yet another amazing artwork...

It's on the northeast corner of Reo Dr. and Cumberland....

"Year of the Rooster" mural by Glow in Azalea Park alley

I walked past the park towards this alley...

located near the southeaster corner of the park...

The mural is pretty extensive - with a long wall that wraps around a house...

The mural was a collaboration between three artists, which include my favorite, Gloria Muriel (aka Glow.


It is entitled the Year of the Rooster and was inspired by the homeowner's chickens.


This is the left most portion of the mural. The following photos show the progress from left to right:
