Monday Mural: sympathetic eyes

Another section of the huge collaborative mural from David Polka  and Ernest Doty I showed you July 23.  This is Doty's work.  Can't tell you what it means, but there's no denying this is a compelling image.

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.  Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters.  Looking forward to the mural finds posted this week.

    It's a bit freaky.

    Great shoot with the car in the same color...
    The mural represent maybe a waterman ?

    It's weird but mind provocative. I sometimes wonder what's going through the mind of the artist when they dream theses things up.

    It definitely is strange! I would feel like someone was watching me all the time...nice work, but not something I would want to have to face every morning out the window!

    Sure an eyestopper this one. Not something to look at the whole day for me.

    This is a very colorful image! Reminds me of Picasso's Blue Period!

    If in the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king, what is the four-eyed man? Okay, stupid question. LOL! If you had not told us. I'd never have guessed this was part of the same mural posted earlier; both the style and coloration are so different. Like others, I do find the image a little disturbing to look at. But the blues all fit nicely.

    Oh good grief, just for a split second I thought I was still experiencing the aftermath of having had a glass of red wine at lunchtime (which I don't usually do!) This is incredible!
