Walking the Walk in Willemstad, Curaçao
Grafitti. Street Art. Creative Expression. Whatever one wants to call it. I have come upon the beauty of this art running along the sides of subway cars and trains, making the old look cheerful. When I stop and think about it, the old cargo trains were the first place I saw it, at least a hundred years ago.
The supplies. She works deftly, using whatever means to reach places that are too high a stretch. What we see here is only a rough draft of her work. She will come back again and again, filling in the spaces with more color and imagery until one day, nothing else fits. It is like a party for my eyes.
She says that this has allowed her the freedom to feel once again. When I go back again, I will take a picture of her finished projects in the different stages I have. She does this every single day.
Love is all around you!
As always, a flower. This flower is dedicated to #WednesdayYellow #Colorchallenge by @Kalemandra, who colors my world every single day.
So the joy may touch your soul

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

So beautiful everything here.
Being in a wheelchair is not a limit for the artists to continue putting color to life. A great example and inspiration.
Happy thanksgiving beautiful lady.
All of those colors really make the place "pop". I am moved by the painter's determination! What a way to beautify what otherwise would be a dull and drab area!

The colors are amazing aren't they and I do admire that woman and her tenacity to get it done and beautify the area.
She was so inspirational to speak with. Her outlook on life was truly amazing given her circumstances in life. Thanks for stopping by and saying hello!

It is such a happy place, isn't it? It has changed since the first time I went there about ten years ago. I am sure that it was a great place to have sun and fun. I lived in Soesterberg for about a year and I am not sure where you make your home, but, I loved both places.
Thank you for stopping by and saying hello! Have a great night!

@dswigle wouldn't it be nice if they allowed people here to put their art on buildings? I love all the colors she uses. I think even kids drawings would be an improvement than plain gray building. Happy Thanksgiving.
