I guess that's because she's a poet? But this is the first I've heard of it - even though I read the local newspaper every day. Tomorrow's task will be to go look for it. There are a couple of other artworks I haven't spotted yet, like the one on Catalina and Union. <br /><br />One piece of Diversity on Sierra Madre Blvd was removed, according to the Star-News, and not by the City for renovation, but it mysteriously reappeared recently. I guess public artwork is always at risk.

A linguist friend collects these, and draws maps of what people call things in different parts of the States.<br /><br />I'm glad you stopped to take close- ups of this. All the art is in places I go by in the car at some speed,, and it's hard to pull over safely. There's more to it than meets the eye going at 25 mph, it's rather beautiful. Hope you'll show us some of the others.

Have you seen one in the median on the east-west portion of Sierra Madre blvd?<br /><br />I think everyone's creative, Kalei, but when we're kids our schooling, upbringing, peers, etc. pound it out of us. Sameness is required! Don't be different! Some lucky folks get support from around them but in many cases it's up to the individual to seek out creativity in themselves.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-64940601758349592932012-01-21T05:25:16.812-08:002012-01-21T05:25:16.812-08:00simply gorgeous.. i love the bright colors..wish m...simply gorgeous.. i love the bright colors..wish more cities had these or rather the creative people!.Kalei's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331539743751163269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-14457269336779442062012-01-21T05:23:18.750-08:002012-01-21T05:23:18.750-08:00Talk about art -- "scraggle-spit!"
