Graphic Desert


A few weeks ago, I drove downtown on a Sunday afternoon to see if I could locate a new mural I had read about by Jane Goat.  It was fairly easy to find on west side of the Hyatt Regency Hotel.  Her murals tend to be graphic in design and using bold colors.  this mural is a graphic take on the southwest's Sonoran Desert.


This is where I found Mr. Renaissance Man, hanging out on the corner.  There was no plaque or sign situated on the base so there seems to be no explanation as to why he has been moved here.

Check out ColourfulWorld for more murals from around the globe.

  4. Sharon, This is a mural I have not seen before. Good find. I like her design, but I never found the Sororan Desert that dark. It was always about bright light for me.

  5. I like it! Is it painted on a window?

  6. I like the different, but still desert, color combination. For me the artistic desert colors are the ones painted on the Arizona bridge supports on the Interstates.

  7. I love the style of this one, Sharon! It really looks as if there is more to come for the man's feet. Maybe the poem is to be reinstalled.

  11. I now think Renaissance Man has found his place. He's flagging down traffic. "Hey! Take a look at this cool new mural!" I like it too.

  12. I like this mural with the geometric shapes. The statue is quite nice and so is the yellow water spout/fire hydrant?
    Thanks for participating Sharon.

  13. I apologize for visiting so late. This mural is stand alone piece of art. It could be in a museum. It is bold and beautiful. Quite different from the Renaissance man who is also quite good, too.
