The name of the artist escapes me at present, but this is located around Detroit’s Necklace District. If you look on the map of Downtown Detroit, the streets are patteryafter a necklace unlike the majority of the grids in Detroit. But this serves as a fitting tribute to a childhood prodigy. I have yet to see him in concert, but I’ve seen him live on TV many times over the decades.
Macro Mondays 'necklace' theme.

This is the last of three murals painted by local artist and businessman by Kevin Hansen...
I have added the frame here in my post-processing.
Also, since I don't know if the artist has given it a title, I have titled it temporarily here. I will change it if and when I hear otherwise.
Kevin is a cobbler who owns and operates Molly's Cobbler Shop, which is just 10 blocks from our home.
He is also an accomplished artist, regularly producing original artwork, often hanging them outside on one of his shop walls. He often features themes of our city and state. I love his style and effective use of colors!
As I was passing his shop today, I parked, got out, and captured each of the three Christmas murals hanging on his outside wall. This is one of those paintings. I may put all three of them in a collage and post them.
Here are two links if you want to see more of Kevin's artistry. The first link is to his shop's website, and the second features more of his art projects :)

The stone sculptures in Sno, a small village in the Kazbegi region of Georgia, are part of a remarkable art project in the Caucasus. These sculptures consist of impressive stone artworks depicting giant faces, often with a melancholic or mysterious expression. They were created by local artist Merab Piranishvili, who is renowned for his unique ability to bring faces and emotions to life in natural stone. Working primarily with local stones, he carves expressive facial features that tell stories about life, the soul, and the deep connection with nature. The sculptures symbolize the ancient wisdom of the mountain dwellers and the spirit of the past. The faces sometimes appear sad or contemplative, reflecting both the challenges and the beauty of life in the Caucasus. Fully integrated into the surrounding landscape, the sculptures stand among the mountains, hills, and rugged grasslands, blending seamlessly with their natural environment. This is what makes Piranishvili’s work so unique: he respects the natural shapes of the stones and subtly adds human characteristics without compromising their raw, natural beauty. Piranishvili often works directly in the field, selecting local stones and carving them with a hammer and chisel. He carefully considers the natural form of each stone, adapting his designs to create a result that looks organic and harmonizes with the surrounding environment.
Sno is located near the breathtaking Stepantsminda area and the imposing Mount Kazbegi. The stone sculptures are a hidden gem in this region, attracting an increasing number of art enthusiasts and travelers. The site exudes a serene, almost meditative atmosphere—perfect for those seeking something unique off the beaten path. If you ever find yourself near Kazbegi, these sculptures are well worth a visit. They offer a truly unique experience where art and nature come together in perfect harmony.
De stenen sculpturen in Sno, een klein dorpje in de Kazbegi-regio van Georgië, maken deel uit van een bijzonder kunstproject in de Kaukasus. De sculpturen bestaan uit indrukwekkende stenen kunstwerken van gigantische gezichten, die vaak een melancholische of mysterieuze uitstraling hebben. Ze zijn gecreëerd door de lokale kunstenaar Merab Piranishvili, die bekendstaat om zijn unieke vaardigheid om gezichten en emoties tot leven te brengen in natuursteen. Hij werkt voornamelijk met lokale stenen en geeft ze expressieve gezichtsuitdrukkingen die verhalen vertellen over het leven, de ziel en de diepe verbondenheid met de natuur. De sculpturen symboliseren de oude wijsheid van de bergbewoners en de geest van het verleden. De gezichten tonen soms een droevige of reflectieve uitdrukking, wat de uitdagingen én de schoonheid van het leven in de Kaukasus weerspiegelt. De beelden zijn volledig geïntegreerd in het omringende landschap: ze staan tussen de bergen, heuvels en het ruige grasland, waardoor ze naadloos opgaan in hun natuurlijke omgeving. Dit maakt het werk van Piranishvili zo uniek: hij respecteert de oorspronkelijke vormen van de stenen en voegt subtiel menselijke kenmerken toe, zonder hun ruwe, natuurlijke schoonheid aan te tasten. Sno ligt vlakbij het adembenemende berggebied Stepantsminda en de imposante Kazbegi-berg. De stenen sculpturen zijn een verborgen juweel in deze regio en trekken steeds meer kunstliefhebbers en reizigers aan. De plek straalt een rustige, bijna meditatieve sfeer uit, ideaal voor wie op zoek is naar iets unieks buiten de gebaande paden. Piranishvili werkt meestal direct in het veld, waarbij hij natuursteen uit de regio selecteert en met hamer en beitel bewerkt. Hij houdt rekening met de oorspronkelijke vormen van de steen en past zijn ontwerpen hierop aan, zodat het eindresultaat natuurlijk oogt en harmonieert met de omgeving. Als je ooit in de buurt van Kazbegi bent, mag je deze sculpturen zeker niet missen. Ze bieden een bijzondere ervaring waarin kunst en natuur op een unieke manier samensmelten!

Alexandre Kazbegi (1848–1893) was a famous Georgian writer and one of the most important literary figures of the 19th century. He was born in Stepantsminda (now known as Kazbegi), a picturesque village in the Caucasus Mountains. His work often reflected the life, culture, and struggles of the people of this mountainous region. Kazbegi came from a noble family, but felt a strong connection with the common people of the mountains, such as shepherds and peasants. He studied in Tbilisi and later in Moscow, where he immersed himself in literature and philosophy. Eventually, he returned to his native region. In order to understand the simple life of the mountain people, he chose to work as a shepherd for a while. This experience formed the basis for his literary works. Kazbegi's stories often revolved around justice, struggle against oppression, and the freedom of the mountains. He portrayed the rugged, free spirit of the people of the Caucasus and their strong connection with nature. His works are imbued with heroic figures and tragic conflicts, which made them beloved by readers in Georgia. Alexandre Kazbegi is considered a cultural icon in Georgia. His works helped to strengthen Georgian national identity. In short, Alexandre Kazbegi was not only a writer, but also a voice of the mountains and a symbol of Georgian spirit and fighting spirit.

Hij werkt voornamelijk met lokale stenen en geeft ze expressieve gezichtsuitdrukkingen die verhalen vertellen over het leven in de bergen en de rijke Georgische cultuur. Een van de prominente figuren die in Sno wordt geëerd, is Alexandre Kazbegi 1848–1893, een beroemde Georgische schrijver en een belangrijke literaire figuur van de 19e eeuw. Geboren in Stepantsminda (nu Kazbegi), een dorp in de bergen van de Kaukasus, weerspiegelde zijn werk het leven, de cultuur en de strijd van de bergbewoners. Hoewel hij uit een adellijke familie kwam, voelde hij zich sterk verbonden met gewone mensen zoals herders en boeren. Kazbegi studeerde in Tbilisi en Moskou, maar keerde uiteindelijk terug naar zijn geboortestreek, waar hij als herder werkte om hun leven beter te begrijpen. Zijn verhalen gaan vaak over gerechtigheid, strijd tegen onderdrukking en de vrijheid van de bergen. Hij portretteerde de ruige, vrije geest van de Kaukasische bevolking en hun diepe verbondenheid met de natuur. Kazbegi’s werken, vol heroïsche figuren en tragische conflicten, versterkten de Georgische nationale identiteit en maakten hem tot een cultureel icoon. Tot op de dag van vandaag wordt hij herinnerd als de stem van de bergen en een symbool van de Georgische geest en strijdlust.

Our next Little Gallery's featured artist is Alexandria Winslow! She’ll have an opening reception on Sunday Nov. 19th from 2pm-4pm. Her work will be on display through December 1st, 2017, (Closed Thanksgiving Day). For more information please visit her website at alexandriawinslowart.weebly.com.
..Person of the Month! Our local park was about to close the bathrooms due to graffit vandalism.....This guy took the time to decorate the bathroom building walls. Since the restrooms have gotten their new look, graffiti stopped and the bathrooms were 'saved' When the girls and I showed up, he was working and had his family with him.......The girls were thrilled to meet the person who made all the beautiful butterflies
Last year (2021) local artist Danielle Dyksterhouse completed this large and beautiful mural on the side of a building in downtown Sheboygan.
She was commissioned by the owners of George Michael's Bar and Grill to brighten up the outside of their place. Danielle decided to paint our city's landmark lighthouse in a creative style seen here.
The mural is huge, coming in at 100 feet long and 50 feet high! I love those vibrant colors :)

Adding to my collection of photos of Utility boxes in San Luis Obispo, Ca.
They are part of SLO Art, the city beautification project. Designed and painted by local artists, it is an effort to make the dull gray metal boxes more of an addition to neighborhoods.
It started in the Downtown area and has now spread to most of the town.

Crowds gathered on a cold July evening at the 'Witches'' Hat' bandstand in Portstewart to hear music by Willie Drennan and guests.
This one is labeled "Prickly Pear Hotel" On of my favorites so far in my quest to find and photo all of the painted utility boxes in San Luis Obispo, ca.
Part of their city beautification program.
I recently got to do some product shops for local illustrator @salguindc (Salgu in DC (Salgu means 'Apricot' in Korean because it is her favorite color palette for drawing)).
I came upon her work when I stopped by a local art store in Georgetown 'Shop Made in DC' and out of all the postcards and artwork being sold there, hers stood out immediately to me. When I send postcards to friends who are not from the DC area, I will use one of her cards to write in.
Follow her on Instagram and check out her online store on Etsy where she sells not only postcards, but magnets, stickers and large sized A4 prints.
In this photo I tried to get all her postcards as neatly as possible so you can see the various scenes she has drawn of DC.
