Description
This mural is located on the wall outside Bar Carlo, which is one of our favorite breakfast places in Portland. I'm not sure of the ethnicity of this mural, but I think it's either Greek or Russian...
Please zoom.

Interesting capture - like your last the mural tricks the eye on the scale of objects - in this case the building seem smaller scale.

Very folksy indeed! It could be Polish, or even Norwegian, hard to say...

Yes, with a few above, this is definitely Eastern European in flavor. The bulbed domes in the buildings on the right (in the mural) are totally E. European. The middle mural looks 18th or 19th C, maybe even medieval, and the woman's hat is very E. European (Polish sounds right, ala Denise). And the right-most mural looks like a fairy tale hut from all European folklore. Delightful murals. But then there's the pic. With your natural predilection for the inner life of the plant world, you have this thing with architecture as well: You present it so unfettered, I mean 'honest', face-forward, with so much detail taking equal weight in the final image, then you produce these almost print-like studies of the whole nature of a facade. "Facade" after all is related to "face," and that's what you present in these architectural pieces---a bold face, with all its blemishes proudly presented. The detail on the green bricks, in the cloths in the windows, the deep shadows, the heavy gravel of the street, and those dark cars which are almost sinister intrusions, make this a terrific facade-capture, in which these beautiful murals just happen to be present. The facade insists on being seen as much as the paintings, so a natural tension is created. I love this. I just love what you do with facades I've yet to do that with all the facades in my city. Love it.
