Monday Murals - The beast

Painted in April 2016, for Public Form 2016 at Curtin University, by Perth artist Hayley Welsh.
A lot of her murals feature this type of creature.
I managed to get there when she was halfway through her mural.

    Looks a bit sad. But a crown and books by a university has to mean something. Thanks for showing.

      Not really sure what it means, but the monster does look sad.

    The beast is wearing a crown. Must be king of beasts, but that does not seem to be making it happy. Interesting mural.

      A sad little king or Prince. Thanks for your visit.

    Despite the sad look... the eyes are really beautiful! And awww, crown and books, very cute ensemble.

    Her creatures do look a little sad but the quotes she writes beside them are always quite inspirational. I really must get down there Sami, not so much to take photos but more just to see 😊

      Thanks Grace, he does look sad. I didn't see a quote, maybe that was painted later. Maybe next time we meet up you could come this side of the river and I'll take you to Curtin Uni.

    The beast looks a little depressed. Nice find!

    I love the eyes but they are so sad looking. A crown and some books make the beast a king for the day. Nice photos and thanks for sharing!

      Thanks Bill, they do look sad, he's probably carrying a weight of the world's problems on his back.

    Who wouldn't be drawn to this sad-eyed, bookish, furry little prince. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.

    I had intended to get here sooner, but I've really just been too sick to get out of bed for days.

    I was impressed with how the area was cordoned off allowing the artist time and space to work.

    I thought this was a very soulful beast. I enjoyed the symbolism of the crown and the "back pack" of books. Not sure what it all means, but it certainly gives rise to good conversations. Thanks for sharing these photos with us.

      Thanks for your visit Elizabeth, hope you are feeling better. I've been away from the computer, just read emails via my phone as I have family staying with me.

    It's so impressive when you see the scale and the size, and the huge paintbrush pole!
    Hope you have enjoyed your family visits!.

      Thanks Wren. Family still here for almost 2 weeks, so we're still doing a lot of sightseeing. Hope you are enjoying your time in Thailand.

    Dearest Sami,
    Indeed it is a rather grim beast... Love its eyes!
    Your photo where the eyes are not been done yet, is such a stark contrast with the end result.
    Hugs and happy Sunday,
    Mariette
