A Hummingbird and More

 

I recently heard that Lauren Lee, the artist who paints beautiful birds, had painted a hummingbird mural for a north Phoenix business called Organic Living.  So I took a drive out to north 7th Street to find it.  I spotted the hummingbird right away but, I didn't realize until I was out of my car that there were a lot more elements to this mural.



Hovering over the door to the business was a bee.  I didn't want to leave him out so I zoomed in on just this little honeybee waiting for his turn at the flower.


As I was leaving, I noticed another part of the mural was on the back of the building.  A lovely ironwood tree off in the distance.  That sign is hard to read so I'll translate, it says Ironwood Mills Furniture.  I looked up both Organic Living and Ironwood Mills and I can't tell if they are related but I think they might be.  One makes furniture from Arizona sourced wood and one sells organic household items like towels and sheets and more.

  5. I find it odd that businesses decorate their buildings this way but they are artful.
