Monday Mural - Sea creatures
Another mural found on our car trip to Northern Western Australia, this time in the small It's been painted by "Children of Jurien" in 1998 on the beach toilet block.

These are some talented young artists. What appealed to me was the fact that this very public area had no graffiti, which means the children were obviously well respected. That was a great find in a very unlikely place.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth. Yes, I didn't expect to find murals in these out of the way small towns and as you say these walls were painted such a long time ago, it's amazing there's no graffiti.
DeleteMuito bonito estes mural dedicado ao mar.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

DeleteAlways nice to see how creative kinds can be, nice mural.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marianne, it's nice to see a mural painted by kids.
Delete...Oh Sami, this makes me feel like I'm back in Maui.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom.
DeleteNice one, children are so creative !
ReplyDeleteThanks Karl.
DeleteGreat project, teaching children art and respect and a sense for community life.
ReplyDeleteI like your new background (no snow, no? Still have to shake my head on that ALDI-ad!).
Thanks Iris, it's great that kids get involved in painting these murals.
DeleteNo snow...lol, I can't believe Aldi would sell snow gear in Perth, but I'm sure stranger things have happened!
Did they really have it on offer or was it just a marketing gag?
DeleteI didn't go there, but I actually saw this on the news and lots of people in Aldi, so it must have happened.
DeleteCrazy. Then... they´re dumb.
DeleteSami if you look at it closely and then mine today, don't you think it could be by the same artist.. the figures look so alike! It's such a cheery sight, perfect for a seaside spot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace. The sea creatures in yours do look quite similar.
DeleteSweetly done and captured
ReplyDeleteThanks Cloudia.
DeleteIt's great! Those children are very talented!
ReplyDeleteHave a Great week!
Thanks Christine, they did a good job.
DeleteThe children must have been excited to participate in creating this mural for the community. Good for both them and the community.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill,I agree a great project for the kids and the community.
DeleteThese are beautiful, Sami! I love the fact they are painted by children

They certainly look a bit better disguised behind a mural, lol.
DeleteThanks Wren.
Ola Sami...
ReplyDeleteAqui na região houve um tempo em que se usava muitos murais pintados por crianças das escolas. Depois passou a ser proibido. Eu gksto e disfarça as paredes

Que pena Gi, e uma maneira das criancas se expressarem tambem. Tambem evita os grafitis, pelo menos aqui pensa-se assim.
DeleteTalented children! I'm not sure I would have done as good... It's a good way to make a beach toilet look more fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sara, yes the toilets building does looks much better with a mural.
DeleteThis is very nice and I think as it was done by children helps to make it extra-specially nice!
ReplyDeleteA great share, thank you.
All the best Jan
Thanks Jan, I'm glad kids get to paint murals too.
DeleteMurals by and for children always seem to be dipped in sweetness and happiness. Hooray for both. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
