Horizontal photo of an artist’s mural painted on the side of a building in the town of Grand-Bourg on the island of Marie-Galante. The mural is a stylized portrait of a man’s long, slender, triangular face. His forehead just above the eyebrows, and bottom of his chin, extend off the top and bottom of the image, forming a tight composition. The artist has rendered the face in shades of light blue with dark shadows of deep black over a light gray concrete background. Patches of concrete show through underneath painted elements of the face’s mottled montage. The subject’s full, closed lips—painted in black on the top lip; and blue on the bottom—center a narrow black jaw and chin that tapers off the bottom edge. Large round light green, mustard yellow, and white eyes, with jet black pupils, stare penetratingly forward over a long thin nose. Green, blue, yellow swirls and splashes of graffiti-styled paint and gray concrete surround the face, which is outlined in a thin white line, making it appear to hover over the background.

The town of Grand-Bourg on the island of Marie-Galante, which is part of Guadeloupe, showcases some amazing murals that most visitors don’t even notice.  Painted on walls and buildings, framed by rusty roofs and chained link fences, I admit these murals can be somewhat camouflaged by the village.  Artist unknown.  Part of a diptych. Shot while sailing with friends in the West Indies.
