@Organik: It's full of character OM but the rather faraway look in the subjects eyes makes it for me - it's as if she's dreaming of being somewhere else? :)
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Duchess, this IS quite the catch, WOW I love the unexpectedness of it ;)

@Lorraine: Thanks Miss Lorraine!! It was a surprise to come across it being painted!
:)
@Treeeeesh: Yes it was part of a much bigger mural in the markets in the centre of Adelaide. The artist was up the ladder next to it still painting!
Walt from Scarborough, Canada
What an interesting shot - love the tools of creation in the foreground, something you rarely see!

@Walt: The artist was up the ladder next to it & the rest of the mural was growing around this unusual figure Walt!

Rags from Plano, United States
This is awesome! The painting appears to blend into the surrounding, making the lady seem real though she does not look real.

I agree Rags - thta's what I noticed first - it's so well painted - and lifesize - I thought she was real for a second ! Hats off tp the artist (unknown I m afraid :)

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
Cool shot. Had me fooled until I read the caption. Had me wondering what kind of post processing you used and looking at the woman's 50's Americana type glasses.

@Twelvebit: It's great painting Twelvebit - she stopped my in my tracks! The only pp was cropping and a spot of brightness/contrast!
