@JudyEv True... Had you not mentioned the ship I probably wouldn't have looked twice at the painting"s eyes.

It's quite subtle and doesn't look out of place.

i am always a little jealous of that gift. You can see huge things on what to me just looks like a wall! I wish I had that skill!

It's incredible, isn't it? And on such a huge scale. Did you see the yacht thingy in my comment to Fiacre?

@DocAndersen I knew it had a 'proper' name but didn't know what it was.

Vince has sometimes taken photos where there is a reflection in the eye so I found this interesting.

Such paintings have some embedded deep meaning. Not everyone can make out. Yet sometimes, many paintings sell at a high price but I wonder if many of these really have some significant meaning!

Once you mentioned it I took another look and yep, I saw the boat. Why does anyone with that kind of talent waste it on buildings like this when they could put it on canvas and sell their art?

It's just a blank brick wall otherwise and open to less artistic scribbles.

Street artists deserve more than they get. There is one here who is gluing lithographs of the same characters on walls since 30 years, and the city removes them since 30 years. I noticed that the same has been paid by a near city to put his art on a few walls...

@topffer This doesn't have initials or a signature which is a bit of a shame. Hopefully he was commissioned and paid for doing it.

That's for sure. I hope this guy gets some recognition for his skills other than just a face on the wall. There is no signature or initials so I don't know who did it.
