This mural was found on the side of a business on 7th Avenue in the mid-town part of Phoenix. When I lived on this side of town, this shop used to be a nice gift shop. Now it appears to be a decorator shop. The faces all look rather solemn so I'm not quite sure how this one is meant to be interpreted. The middle face is slightly hidden by that statue of a lion on the pedestal in front of it.
I couldn't make out the artists name so I decided to just post a photo of the signature.
Taking part in Monday Murals.

I kinda like the lion.
Native or latin faces, the line moving around them to the left?
They do look very solemn, Sharon.
I really like it, the one on the left kind of looks like Cher
I agree with Stefan -- I like the lion! The mural is good too but yes, very solemn.
Very solemn and serious looking.
Love the portraits
I wonder what the artist wanted to transmit.
They look like native Americans maybe? But they do look very serious. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Sharon.
think I found him…
