Dreamy Damsels, graffiti-style

For #MondayMural: The ladies painted onto these restaurant-walls seem to have been created with limited use of colors, most of them on brick-like backgrounds. These murals sure look like an effort to bring some 'street-atmosphere' indoors.
Mural at Kanpai restaurant, Reno

Mural at Kanpai Sushi restaurant in Circus Circus, Reno.

Between the spotting of the Daydream mural from our hotel room in Reno and seeing it from street level, we were exploring Circus Circus (Hotel and Casino). While we were at that,ย I came across Kanpai Sushi Restaurant that sported paintings of many a dreamy damsel on its walls. The Kanpai restaurant murals were all paintings of women and the dim lighting inside seemed to accentuateย the artistry and make the Sushi place quite a show.

On one of our nights there in Circus Circus, Reno, we had dinner at a Mexican restaurant that’s on the far end of this area that looked like a food court or a seamless dining area. As I enjoyed my Taco Salad in the midst of all this art, there was so much to see and take in and it sure made for a lovely evening.

Most of the ladies in the murals were created with aย limited use of colors and they seemed to be on brick-like backgrounds, making these works look like an attempt to bring into the restaurant some ‘street-atmosphere’. (And I must say, it wore the look of a successful project. You can see it for yourself.)

I did not get to photograph all of the lovely ladies in the graffiti-style murals in the restaurant but what I brought back, have become pictures to treasure. Here’s sharing those sights with you:

The ladies of the Kanpai restaurant murals:

    Itโ€™s amazing how you keep tumbling upon treasure trove of murals. Those ladies appear to have links from across the planet. I could see an Indian face too โ€”or is it just my heartโ€” and an East Asian beauty.

      Treasure trove indeed! So beautifully done and the ladies were so beautiful too.
      I thought that one Indian too. ๐Ÿ˜‰ (You’re talking about the second lady up there, I’m guessing).

      Thank you for coming and seeing these lovely ladies, USP. ๐Ÿ™‚

      Have a great week ahead.
