Murals being made, part 67: Tucson Dental Studio

Later the white space at the top was filled in. An employee told me that the muralist still hadn't quite finished… he does a lot of work around Tucson, she said, so I guessed that he was busy. (Later I found out that he's Jonny Bubonik.) On November 22, I came back and stared at the mural for a while. I spotted the flowers at the top left that seemed unfinished:

David Aber took the next photo on February 12th:
