Happy cacti in Athens, Greece

A 55,000 square foot wetland mosaic, what I believe to be the largest hand-painted wall mural on a building in North America. It’s at the edge of the 160-acre Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge, Portland’s first official urban wildlife refuge that lies on the east bank of the Willamette River, not far from the city center. The mural overlooks the refuge and the tale of its origins invariably intrigues visitors. I certainly learned a lot by working with muralists, artists, building owners, foundations, and the public while helping create it.

Unsure of the artist (signature is at bottom right, but I didn’t note it when taking the photo). The artwork has two faces (this side and the other side of the building). Located on Frederick Douglass Ave at ~125th St. in Harlem, NYC.

it is rare to see nature themed graffiti in this part of the world. This was on the outside wall of a laneway behind an organic store.
