‘Calla Lily’

Painted by airbrush artist Kaliq Crosby on the side of Addis Park Market, this mural depicts a calla lily, the country flower of Ethiopia, using the red, yellow and green colors of the Ethiopian flag to honor the grocery store owners, who are Ethiopian. He invited children from around the city to help complete the mural, allowing them to learn about the process of creating a mural, from the sketching to the painting stages.

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