Surfing Madonna Immortalized in Leucadia Mural

If you miss seeing the popular artwork, you can now catch a glimpse of it every time you cruise down N. Coast Highway.

The Surfing Madonna has been sighted in Leucadia.  

Sunday afternoon an image of the popular artwork appeared on the wall outside the Mobil gas station on N. Coast Highway. Cardiff artist Kevin Anderson is adding the Surfing Madonna to his mural there, which he originally painted four years ago.

The actual Surfing Madonna artwork—a mosaic formally titled Save the Ocean— first showed up under a train overpass off Coast Highway . Though it was wildly popular, the because he didn’t have permission to put it up in the first place.

Since then, the Surfing Madonna has struggled to find a permanent home. It near the intersection of Moonlight Beach—but after the state , Anderson felt inspired to find some room for Surfing Madonna in his mural.

Anderson has been spending his weekends updating his mural. He still plans to spend the next several weekends the finishing touches on his homage to the Surfing Madonna.

Took this class before a trip to Italy. Very fun and was able to learn quickly with the way theRead More class was taught. Great instructor and wonderful insights. You will enjoy it if you ever wanted to learn Italian. Caio!

Hi Edward, I didn't hear any reports on the scanner or from sources of crashes, rescues or hardRead More landings.

The public deserves an objective, unemotional, factual public debate on this proposition. So far IRead More am still leaning toward a yes vote, but I am keeping an open mind at least through this month.

That may very well have been part of it. Grandma had an affinity for liquor as well, but grandpaRead More hated alcohol with a passion and wouldn't allow a single drop of it in the house. Sometimes the man's leadership is essential.

Aunt Judy was probably a very lonely person and turned to comfort in a bottle. What a darn shame.

And you know what ladies, if you don't like Batman's way you don't have to do it Batman's way. ThisRead More is America, not Batmerica, and it's not Flanderstan either. My grandmother's sister decided to become a career woman instead of geting married and having a family. She started and ran a very successful accounting business, back in the 1930s! So who needs Flanders and his women's lib? There's nothing standing in your way, there never has been. Flanders and the rest are lying to you. Aunt Judy did become an alcoholic though and died rather young because of it. Would that have been different if she had been a family woman? Nobody knows.
