When we took the visiting family up North for a short holiday in March, we stopped at the small village of Dongara.
It was a Sunday afternoon, and we stopped at the Pub on the main road (Moreton Terrace) for something to eat. Their restaurant was closed, but they suggested we order something from the Fish and Chips shop across the road, and we could eat at the pub as long as we ordered drinks from them.
While waiting for our order I spotted this mural on the corner wall. It was quite pretty and vibrant. It was painted by Evie Black in 2016, but I've been unable to find out anything about the artist.

very nice mural. I like how it is done in the corner, that gives it somehow tridimensional aspect.
ReplyDeleteThanks Klara.
DeleteWonderful painted, so delicate.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marianne.
DeleteNice underwater scene. The fish are really floating around. Nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks S.C. The fish look quite real.
DeleteBeautiful mural.
ReplyDeleteWe got stuck in Dongara in 1999 for two days due to flooding. And I was too shy to ask the road train driver if he might show me his vehicle. And then I was the driver when 4WD´s were allowed to set off. Ingo filmed it and yelled at the slower and slower getting guy in front of us to DRIVE ON!
Quite some memories!
Thanks Iris. Travel episodes that you remember forever.

Obrigada Gi. Sim, ate parece uma foto.
Delete...Sami, it looks like I'm back in Maui!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom, yes this mural would fit quite well in Hawaii.
DeleteA most unusual entry for you this week, but I certainly enjoyed it. The way it was painted around the corner gave it more dimension than you would normally find on most buildings.
ReplyDeleteYes, it really makes it more depth. Thanks for referring my blog to Jo's Let's Art Journal too.
DeleteBeautiful mural, I like the way the shark is swimming around the corner! Nice to meet you, Bluebeard and Elizabeth told me about your blog following my post about urban street art :-) . Wishing you a great week! J :-)

Thanks for your visit Baili.
DeleteI didn't have any luck learning more about the artist online either.
ReplyDeleteThanks Revrunner, I had also searched high and low and nothing...
DeleteI presume it could have been a local artist, and I should have asked at the shop.
