I appreciate when new owners of a building respect the art that was previously installed. That is the case with this larger than life mural by Dar Parsons (2005) called "The Jazz Masters". The mural was designed and then projected at night so that the piece could be outlined with black markers on the rough brick exterior. Parsons would often pull "all-nighters" on Saturdays to complete the work before the weather turned cold. He used a forklift to reach the upper elevations of the building and painted the entire wall with just a small brush.
The mural shows two musicians playing instruments and musical notes can be seen in the wisps of steam from the horn players coffee.
There is also a clue to the painting on the signature panel where a number appears. Can you figure out what the number represents in the painting?
