SAN FRANCISCO MURAL

today i've decided to stop and take time to take pictures of my favorite San Francisco mural .it was quite a challenge because the actual mural is now on private property and on a very busy street that rarely sees pedestrians because of traffic.the mural was executed in 1936 by Don Clever and restored in 1999 for our enjoyment........

Don was a self taught Canadian born artist who moved in the US in 1920 .he settled in SF where he spent most of his life ......Don Clever died in 2001

  3. I care, I live near this mural and love it! Unfortunately some idiot tagged it last night. I've contacted the artist's daughter to let her know.
