One of the ongoing projects of modern art, and probably its most serious is to tell what it’s really like to be living here now. Not what it’s like on television or in advertisements, not what it’s like to be a cohort, but what it’s like to be a man or a woman in that unique body that’s always living an odd life. Against the forces of false persuasion, the artist offers an undeniable sort of truth, stated in simple human terms, minus the jargon and the emblems of expertise and false authority. It’s always a voice and the voice always says: this is how it is for me, and I hope you understand.

A reminder of the beauty of nature amidst a sea of urban sterility
Like Bill so accurately reflected on in his comment, the first thing that came to my mind was how nice to see a bit of nature “created/drawn” into this concrete environment. A beautiful standout that you captured here!
Wonderful wall graphic. It adds life and a bit of humor to the building.
I’m still not sure what draws me, but for some (good) reason I seem to always have been drawn to images of our everyday spaces within our towns or communities. The moment I saw this, it felt like a place where I’d love to be. I love how the dandelion seeds are leading us to where the entrance beckons. Even though the signs also do so, it’s the dandelion that has the most influence. Lovely image.
Very tasteful wall art on/around these very tidy buildings. Quite a lovely shot.
What a terrific image!! Nicely composed and with a thought provoking quote!
How whimsical the art feels. WHat a contrast to all of the buildings.
Un bel endroit, jolie enseigne lumineuse.
Well, of course, I fixated on the big “J” and had to search for the dandelion.
I always have a tough time when artists/photographers talk about art. What they say makes sense, but it also makes no sense.
… on going project of modern art
… most important
….really like
…. undeniable sort of truth
but whether any of that makes sense or is true, it boils down to:
this is how it is for me, and I hope you understand.
I love the dandelion on the wall. It brings some form of nature back to the concrete jungle. A wonderful image.
Symbolic of the fleeting and fragile elements of life.
This has a Banksy feel to it, Sherri, which makes me smile. 🙂 Good eye.
well then, it’s a cheery point of view of the artist’s world then, heck of a lot different than Banksy….
i had a dandelion mural like that on my wall in the last apartment we lived in, i loved it xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

i love the mural of dandelion Sherri…it stands from all of the other things around it….peter:)
Great framing and so much to see!
i like the lighted sign, the artwork is appealing. a fitting text to go with this image
Comme des petites notes de musique !.. )
I have tried so many times to blow on a dandellion and make a photograph of just that 🙂
That piece of art is a real beauty.
