This image almost slipped my notice, captured back in 2019. While this collection features various blue-themed compositions, I remain particularly enchanted by the allure of this weathered window, adorned with an unexpected splash of yellow paint, presumably from a can of spray paint. Its appeal lies in its nostalgic decay, a wistful testament to time's passage.
The window embodies a classic, timeless design, evoking images of a local resident leaning out to take in the morning's street activity. One can envision a friendly nod and a subtle smile exchanged with passersby, accompanied by warm "Buenas." The color scheme adds to the charm, with a pristine white interior framed by a delicate baby blue border, adorned with the artistry of aged spots where paint has weathered away. The window's character is further enhanced by the cast-iron edging and the wire screen atop, each element contributing to its enduring appeal.
You can still locate this captivating scene on Avenida A, just beyond Calle 3. It's a location that beckons attention and anticipates a brighter future, one where its beautiful bones will be preserved through rehabilitation. In the event of such a transformation, one can only hope that the enchanting blue will endure, becoming a testament to the intrinsic charm of the structure.
Nestled in this location, the vantage point offers a view of the Bay of Panama from the back rooms, while the front of the building commands a central position on the bustling Avenida A, making it an enduring emblem of the neighborhood's history and spirit.

Each of JR's images are custom, digitally printed using a high quality Epson 5 color solvent ink on 300 Poly Cotton Canvas. Each image is cropped specifically to the specifications of that shot, so sizes differ for each image. This image comes in the following sizes:
- Medium: 18"x25.14"
- Large: 24"x33.52"
Unframed: Each image is printed with extended, stretched edge so it can be easily Gallery Wrapped using a wooden frame. Should you desire to frame your canvas in a traditional frame, be aware that the edges have a "pixel stretch" design, creating a blurry look so the inner photo is fully visible on the front of the canvas. All unframed canvases are sold, rolled in a protective, cardboard tube, so you can easily travel with your canvas(s).
Framed: Framed canvases sport a 1 1/4" high quality, treated wood equipped with mounting hardware with an open back. Each canvas has been hand-stretched, that is perfectly taunt with staples evenly and precisely distributed to ensure the longevity of the canvas. Canvases are shrink-wrapped with protective cardboard edges.
