Newark, NJ With this being Mother's Day weekend and Newark, NJ having some of the highest crime rates especially with violent crimes, I thought the themes were fitting. May love prevail so there's no more senseless deaths and needless mourning especially among mothers who lose their children way too soon.

Bronx, NY I will forgive their Iniquity – and their sin Remember no more. Peace be upon all From that momentous day he Was raised back to life. Having risen from The dead, he has made us born a new creation. The thorns and the cross Expressions of God’s love Bring life eternal.

Note: Created from graffiti photographed in Los Angeles, CA Amidst clouds of smoke And pyroclastic rivers A new day awakes. Like the morning dawn The sky shimmers and glows with Red luminescence. Ash coats and lava From volcanic eruptions Renew the Earth’s face. Fuji's sacred fires That both destroy and create Sustain life's cycle. ©2024 – William Sutherland

Manor Park, Larchmont, NY Note: Manor Park is the most beautiful and picturesque park in my hometown. It is featured in many photographs and paintings. This is a view that goes unnoticed, unphotographed, and unpainted. Most of the graffiti is old school -- written by magic marker. Some dates back to 1976.
