Gong Hay Fat Choy! It's Day One of Chinese New Year (some call it the Spring Festival, others call it Lunar New Year so as not to limit it to one heritage group ... ).
Artist: Darl Han (?), Man with Dragon detail, paint on stucco. |
If you've ever gone to to the famous Pink's food stand in Hollywood, you probably stood outside staring at this work while you waited for an hour for a hot dog with some sort of fancy topping.
Here's as much as I can get in one shot with as little obstruction (wires, walls) as possible.
Here's practically the whole thing. The building owner is particularly proud of this. It is fully illuminated at night (see the mounted lights?). They were still on which is why Bruce's face has a warm glow on it.
This mosaic treatment (almost like a paint by the numbers painting) really makes a work pop out that you can see, driving by at 40 MPH.
The painting's design makes use of this architecture jutting up mid-profile--probably allowing for skylight from a northern exposure. Nothing better than a dragon to carry a motif from the one end of a building to another.

As for Malibu, this is the scene today:
Yup, more grey, low clouds, and a hard-to-discern horizon. No use showing you another view, but I did catch this hawk on the parking lot light right next to my car.
It sure would be nice to catch a snapshot when the wings are spread. They have even more colors to them than the three basic shades you see here. One of these days...
Thanks for looking. And have a wonderful rest of your week!
Love,
Pops

Be truthful and frank, but be polite. If you use excessive profanity, I'll assume you have some kind of character flaw like Dr. Wong. Tks!
