The French artist duo Ella et Pitr painted this wonderful streetart mural in the city of Valparaiso on Cerro Alegre. When you are on the top of the escallera on the cerro (=hill) you keep on walking up the little mountain. After seeing a lot of other nice streetart and painted houses you will see the alley divides into two. And on house on the edge in the middle there is this nice old lady waiting. She looks a bit disturbed and borred, stil gracefully, but blasé and with the fingers drumming like waiting for something. I love this one! She appears so nicely and calm with the pink surrounding and her red fashioned finger nails. In some way she is saying "Look around you, that´s our painted neighborhood.... here even the grandmas can do great graffiti and paintings on their houses! I am waiting to see your house painted!!!". :-) The "nearly-exact" location of the lady should be here. The whole city is one fantastic streetart mural. Awesome!
