Monday Mural: portrait of a waif

I know I've seen those eyes somewhere before, but I can't remember where.  Done by Gloria Muriel, a San Diego based artist, who signs her pieces "glow."  The bird and the dense lines in the girl's hair remind me of Doty.  Maybe he's influenced her Oakland pieces.  Found near Lake Merritt at the start of East Oakland.

If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme's for you.  Just follow the Linky steps below.  You get to decide what constitutes a mural.  Once you start looking, you find them everywhere.  Be sure to link back to this blog and to visit your fellow posters.  Looking forward to the mural finds posted this week.

    There looks like a lot of spray paint to complete that. Well done.

    When it comes to hair the artist has fantastic imagination.

    Great mural with fantasy. Like the way the bird and the eyes are woven into the hair.

    She looks like a fairytale girl with the long hair flowing around.

    I like the way the eyes are done.
    I need to find some murals in my new city! But I hope you'll still enjoy some from Toronto. :)

    Certainly an interesting style. I must say I find the headdress, hair and bird more appealing than the face.
    Thanks for hosting!

    A clever mural. I like the eyes too. And the way the brickwork has been brought into the picture by decorating the bricks around the painting itself.

    Very cool. There are eyes tucked in her wild hair too. MB
