Colorful murals on the streets of San Francisco.
Since the pandemic began a year ago, so many restaurants and stores have closed down. Windows have been boarded up. Store remain empty.
So I love it when I randomly stumble across artist Kate Tova’s art on the streets. This artist paints murals and hearts on wooden boards that are commonly seen on the streets of SF. I couldn’t resist photographing them. The colors <3
Kate paints hearts all over the city. Have you seen them?

Some great vivid art and these recipes look very hearty 🙂
Her work looks beautiful, I’ve never been to your city, Andrea. ❤️
