Chinatown. This building has a fascinating history as the Marie Surratt Boarding House. Take a few minutes and Google "Marie Surratt", famed as a spy for the Confederacy during the Civil War.
She was arrested, tried and convicted of plotting the kidnapping and death of Abraham Lincoln.
Aside from all the history, this building is exciting in its color and visual impact. Facing north, it never sees the direct light of day. The east side of the building, (the white shape), catches the morning light while the rest stays in the shade. To capture this feel, I printed my huge grey stencil first and will print every other color on top of it. You are viewing the first three colors. Because this print is very large I may move a little slower than usual, but stay tuned and watch this piece develop.
