286. The Bearpit (22)

There is something very pleasing about walking around the city looking for interesting things and making discoveries. Every now and then you see a real gem that shines so brightly but others do not seem to see. It is not a gift, but at times it feels like one.

This is a beautiful and refreshing piece that recently appeared in the Southern tunnel of The Bearpit. I am guessing, but I have little to go on that this drawing/pastel? is by Yvette Byrd. The only clue I have is in the tiny paste up at the bottom right, with a beautiful poem and signature. I have googled Yvette Byrd, but nothing relevant comes up.

So I must enjoy this piece for what it is rather than the celebrity of its creation. Maybe more work will appear and the pieces of the jigsaw come together. This piece says to me ‘dare to be different’. Somebody new trying something new.

I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.

  1. Good to see a woman–I am assuming that is a woman. The picture reminds me of pattern covers–old ones. Or the illustrations from women’s magazines in the 50’s. Really interesting. I wonder if it is a visitor or someone new on on the scene?

      1. fingers crossed. I’ll check The Bearpit, as it is the easiest place to ‘legally’ do street art and graff at the moment – who knows I might give it a try soon.
