The old lady appears to be knitting a scarf of sea waves and saying "Nao quero aqui macacadas" which means "No monkey business here".
The other wall has a man fishing from a van.
Painted by Portuguese artist Mario Belem, at Rua Nova de Alfarrobeira nr. 16, for Muraliza 2014 (a street art initiative in Cascais).

| The van has a sign that says "Conta-me historias" (tell me stories) and on the window "Volto ja" (I'll be back soon) |
On the third wall a poem about "the village and the beach", is signed by Youth, so may not have been painted by the same muralist.
Wow, a big knitter!

DeleteI love the continuity of the two sides. It's incredible how the knitting turns into the sea by design. You have a great eye.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth, glad you liked it.
DeleteLove the bottle of wine the fisherman has - and are those bait in the pot?
ReplyDeleteCute idea for a mural.
Not sure about what's in the pot Iris.
DeleteGosh what a beauty Sami.. what a wonderful bounty of fabulouso murals you found on your trip.. let's hope some of these artists make their way to Perth sometime in the future :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace. I did find some fabulous murals, I have loads still to publish. Who knows maybe sometime in the future they will also get invited to paint Australian walls.
DeleteThe Granny is knitting a river, so this great looking mural must be an allegory. Wonderful find. The artist is quite talented.

How exciting Wren. My blogging teacher went to the conference. Who knows might be a good idea!
DeleteEnergy. Whimsy. Color. This one has it all! It's delightful! Reminds me that it's often grandma and grandpa who have the best fantasy stories of them all - and many times, they're true!
