This kid with his tongue stuck out has been here a couple of years, but repainted, and
is very popular.

"Quicksilver."  It looks like a statue and reflection, but it is really a flat wall painting.
Right next to "Boy with Tongue."





"Underwater Girl."  The name of the artist is at the bottom right.




"Face and Hands"





Cloe Hakakian.  "Women Skeletons I."  I think this is Queen Elizabeth and Wonderwoman.
Cloe lives in Los Angeles and does a lot with skeletons.




Cloe Hakakian.  "Women Skeletons."  On the left is Frida Kahlo and right Jackie Kennedy.
After the glamour and makeup are gone, this is what they will look like.  Los Angeles.

and she creates many murals with folk art motives.  Many of her works can be found on
the internet.  10 feet high.
