owl

There is a new (to me?) mural in the nearly mile-long section of murals of Hubbard St. in Chicago's River West neighborhood. I need to review my photos (as I've been documenting the murals for years now) but this may be where a previous one was sadly (but necessary) removed due to construction work the UP did to reinforce their tracks above. Usually, however, the artist signs their work toward the bottom of the mural, but I did not see one here. It may be related (a tribute?) to a recently deceased street artist, Brooks Golden, who used owls quite frequently in his work.
