Fishing at the Pepco substation

This was my favorite section of the mural on the substation (below, previous picture), although the entire thing, which covered two long walls of the building, was well done.

*****

Local artists Kaliq Crosby and Rose Jaffe recently decorated the walls of a new Pepco substation in Southwest Washington with murals of DC icons Marvin Gaye, congressional Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton and famous statesman Frederick Douglas along with other beautiful images, some of which I’ll post individually.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

Terrific photos of this new mural. Also terrific that it got done even before the building is finished.

A great mural you keep finding them you should add up your mileage to see how far you traveled for these murals.
A nice mural to stop sit on the bench and have lunch.
Nice sharp work Helen.

I like the happy expression on the bird...the fish doesn't look too thrilled though. V
