Street Art

June 17

Dear Liza,

I have managed to catch a cold, and am stuck inside for a day or two here in Toulouse, feeling lousy. I’m not going to try and write much. Instead, I will show you some of the street art from Lyon, Montpellier, Arles, and Toulouse.

I don’t know how much there originally was to this poster. What she’s wearing is called a Liberty Cap, or Phrygian Cap. I think she’s fierce, there on a wall by the Roman Arena in Arles.

Montpellier has some talented collage artists running around!

I took this picture for Ruthie… Lyon really likes giraffes!

We’ve only been here in Toulouse for a few days, but I found these odd bits of cast metal window hardware. Someone has decided their clown faces needed highlighting. Weird, huh?

More for the outside world, tomorrow (fingers crossed).

Love,

Grandma Judy
