This is an image of a portrait of a female. Her face is to the right, taking a bit of a side angle. Her lips are blue and are partially open, showing some white in between. The other facial features (nose, pupils, eye browns, eye lashes) are black. The skin tone is a slight blue shade. Her hair is white, with black lines representing strands of hair. To the left of her face is a graffiti wall with the colours green, blue and black.

DISCOVER
This image captures one of the exhibits for the Art Crawl. It is taking place in a warehouse environment, so the ceilings are metal with metal supports painted white. The art exhibit has wood wood pallets hanging from the ceiling to hold up numerous paintings. The first rack displays floral themed and lake landscape paintings. The display on the left shows more portraits of individuals. There are approximately four people in front of the exhibit looking at the art.
