This was taken pre-war in Ukraine and yes! I could´ve braved up and crossed the 4 lane street and talk to the artist - these days I am brave enough!!!
But... darn it. This is not Perth.
Public toilets?
Nada. I had too much tea (it was cold!!!) and like really needed to get rid of that.
So sad.
So sad.
Cause.. I think here these artists are not recognized and I could´ve made a point.
Here is the mural days later, no signature, sadly.
So... what is your face? Honest or a lie like Put#n´s? I´m 100% the first.
As River said... "I wonder what Put#n's mother would think of his actions?"
The sign to the bottom left suggests two ways.Talk, find a solution, but with that tiny madman I don´t see it.
The refugees who arrived here... I feel so sorry.
To see the car makes me hold my breath to not cry.
The mural´s eye-color... typical for the people from Ukraine, too, not all, but many, a sweet brown.

It's a beautiful mural. For the rest, everything is terrible
This is a very beautiful mural. It is amazing how this artist has added facial features to his finished mural. Thanks for sharing both pictures, so the final touches are very clear.
On another note, we all want peace. Hope this war will end soon.
Bertiebo, yes. To both...

Yes, sad I couldn´t talk too him...
...I love the eyes!
Yes :-)
I enjoyed seeing the in progress photo. The completed photo made all the difference in the world.
Nice that you saw the artist painting his mural. I wanted to speak to the artist painting the mural at my local shopping but he was up high in the cherry picker, lol. Nice mural and features.
Too sad about the war and the war refugees, and the destroyed cities...
Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Iris.
Wow -- that mural has great impact. And it's fascinating seeing someone at work. Yes, I know what you mean. Long ago, I wouldn't have stopped to ask a question or talk. Today you probably couldn't tear me away.
It is so sad and scary to see what is happening in the world today.
Elizabeth, I really liked the first version!

Sami, LOL, the difficulties to talk to artists are "colorful" ;-)
Yes, that stupid war.

Jeanie, yes, sad I could not talk to him. But I really needed to go!

Jackie, is is, and dumb and unnecessary.
I have happened along when artists were painting a few times and they have all been quite friendly and happy to talk although a few were quite shy. I like the mural before and after.
I really needed to go pee, gaaaaaahhhh!
The eyes are powerful. I like both versions but I give the edge to the second one.
Hmmm. First one, in "my eyes" ;-)
Beautiful mural. I am honest to the core. Here is some information on putin's mother. The one he claims may not be his real mother. Vera Nikolaevna Putina (Russian: Вера Николаевна Путина; born 6 September 1926) is a woman who has since 1999 stated that Vladimir Putin ("Vova") is her son. The woman's claims contrast with Putin's official biography, which states that Putin's parents died before he became president.[1][2] The Telegraph concluded that while the woman might be simply wrong or part of a public relations effort, the story "identifies the holes in the known story of Mr Putin's past". The official story is that Putin's parents were already in their forties when Putin was born, which leaves a gap of over fifteen years since the births of their previous sons, Oleg and Viktor, neither of whom survived childhood. Details of the first ten years of Putin's life are scarce in his autobiography, especially when compared with other world leaders."[2]
Putina lives in the village of Metekhi, about 18 kilometers East of Gori, Georgia. Putina says that Putin's father is a Russian mechanic, Platon Privalov, who got Vera pregnant while he was married to another woman. A "Vladmir Putin" was registered at Metekhi school in 1959–1960. Records show that his stated nationality is Georgian.[2] Putina married a Georgian soldier Giorgi Osepahvili. Her husband pressured her to abandon her son, Putin.[1][2][3] In December 1960, she delivered "Vova" back to his grandparents in Russia. Putina believes that the St. Petersburg-based "parents" referred to in Putin's official biography adopted her son from his grandparents.[1][2][3]
Through her contacts, she learned that Putin had become a KGB officer. In 1999, she spotted Putin on television.[1] Putina says that Russian and Georgian people visited her village to pressure her to remain silent. A school teacher, who says she taught Putin, stated that she too had been threatened. Putina says she is ready to do DNA tests.[2] Russian journalist Artyom Borovik's plane crash coincided with the documentary he was making about Putin's childhood, including a report about Vera Putina.[1][2][4] Italian journalist Antonio Russo was reportedly also interested in Vera Putina before he was murdered
It's a beautiful mural.
The mural is well done, but I'm not sure I like it.
Nicole. WOW. What a weird childhood created a weird, sick, sad maniac!
This really should be on the news, esp in Russia.
I still cannot understand the whole of it all.
