2. Another CALTRANS beautification project.

3. What happened to the rosettes?

Mr. E -- I almost spewed coffee with the rosettes line. I think that may become a recurring theme for this blog. Or maybe it should be my tagline? GLIMPSES OF SOUTH PASADENA: Your Daily Rosette

Nah.; November 14, 2009 at 7:45 AM
Mister Earl said...: Thanks, LA. As I mentioned on Karin's blog yesterday, spewing a beverage is the highest compliment one can receive!; November 14, 2009 at 8:00 AM

there's a shadow on the door
of a cottage on the shore
of a dark Scottish loch.

Mister Earl said...: Karin:

I'm sure you could outcaption all of us most of the time. Is it the pressure that gets to you?; November 14, 2009 at 6:46 PM
Laurie Allee said...: Don't fret, Hiker. As long as you guffaw and pound the table when one of us comes up with a good one!

Thanks for playing along, everyone. I'm so fond of this pld garage, I actually find myself looking for reasons to drive past it. But then again, you all know by now that I'm weird.

Til tomorrow!; November 14, 2009 at 11:04 PM

Anonymous said...: I've always liked this mural despite it disappearing before our eyes. My first singular commission was to create a garage door mural in Windsor Village. The owners originally contacted Kent Twitchel who turned it over to me.

This is where I learned the power of vanity. The owners wanted their portraits incorporated into the design. I painstakingly painted every wrinkle, every out of place hair. They loved the skill, and design but I had to go back and pretty them up. Now that I'm older I "get it"....At the time I felt compromised; November 15, 2009 at 9:38 AM
Laurie Allee said...: Isn't it funny how getting older brings us down to earth about this stuff? I remember thinking how much I hated high lit, airbrushed pictures of people that blurred out every flaw. It wasn't "real." But after my latest drivers license photo... I get it. Sigh.; November 16, 2009 at 9:36 AM

Cool broad, no? Maybe it helps to be the richest woman in the world.; November 16, 2009 at 3:40 PM
Oleg K. said...: It was just a simple garage door but gramps told Billy that if he just looked hard enough, the colors would appear...

"...There they are Billy, now look hard. And believe!"; November 16, 2009 at 5:34 PM
Laurie Allee said...: Hiker, she was a very cool broad, indeed.

Oleg, nice!; November 16, 2009 at 11:08 PM
