Once in a while I travel to the Hamilton Hill IGA (food store) owned by a Portuguese man, where I buy Portuguese ingredients like dry cod fish.
Both murals portray endangered species, specifically the Red Tailed Black Cockatoo painted by Brenton See, who is a lover of birds and has a project to paint birds that are at risk of disappearing in Western Australia.
If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you;

Obrigada Francisco, boa semana para si.
Delete...these are fabulous. I haven't seen a IGA in years! Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThey have quite a few IGA's here in Perth.
DeleteVibrant work on these!
ReplyDeleteThanks William.
DeletePortuguese food and an extensive moral - perfection!
ReplyDeleteYes perfect indeed. Thanks Debbie
DeleteHere is a beautiful and very colorful fresco, and these fruits and animals are of the most beautiful effect. A very nice series of photos.The first one is really amazing and complex
ReplyDeleteThanks Kwarkito, glad you enjoyed them.
DeleteBeautiful collection of murals! I saw some fascinating street art last week, will be posting more.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thank you Mae.
DeleteLove the parrots.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jim, they are beautifully done.
DeleteBoth of these are fabulous. They are both clever and very colorful. What struck me was you have IGA. It never occurred to me that this store chain would make it all the way to Australia.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth. Well, I had no idea IGA was an American chain. It's a store where I hardly ever shop for the day to day stuff as I find it more expensive than the other supermarkets.
DeleteNice. The black cockatoo is superb.
ReplyDeleteI think so too Andrew, Brenton specialises in birds, apparently he used to raise birds as a youngster and then took an interest in those birds that are at risk of disappearing.
DeleteHaven't seen any good murals lately, certainly nothing on the order of these.
ReplyDeleteThanks Revrunner, glad you enjoyed them.
DeleteNice mural
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam :)
DeleteThose colours!! Very attractive. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Dee :)
DeleteCores espectaculares num mural lindíssimo, com uma mensagem muito importante.
ReplyDeleteBjs, boa semana
Obrigada Pedro, sim uma mensagem importante!
DeleteLovely bright colorful and clear murals. I like that they show local species.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sallie, glad you enjoyed them.
Deletelove the brenton mural
ReplyDeleteThanks Bertie.
DeleteAgain I cannot decide which I like most - they´re all beautifull and so life-like!
ReplyDeleteThanks Iris, I know it's difficult to choose.
DeleteI am always amazed you find so much murals there and they are all so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be quite a lot of murals around Perth. Even private people commission artists to paint murals in their gardens or house walls.
DeleteWow, great murals.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stef.
DeleteI have fruit and veg this week.

Thanks Jackie, we all need fruit and veg :)
DeleteThey work well together Sami, both highlighting the plight of our birdlife. They certainly brighten many a spot in Perth✨
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace. We have similar birds this week :)
DeleteThey are both great! We have IGA stores here in Canada too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat, I had never heard of IGA until I moved to Australia, and I heard it's an American brand.
DeleteWow! Never seen an IGA with a mural and this one is a doozy! We have a few IGA left here in Wisconsin but they are a dying breed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam. Not sure about their business here, but they seem to do well, they open earlier than the other supermarkets and close later too (here in Perth anyway).
DeleteThis are beautiful, Sami! I particularly like the picture of the parrot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole, glad you enjoyed it :)
DeleteLike that one with the black bird
ReplyDeleteThanks Haddock.
DeleteWe use to have IGA stores here.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
Thanks Dora/
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteThe murals you show us here are incredibly well done!
As for the IGA, just looked it up because we do have them here as well. They are Independent Grocers from Australia, never knew that... Interesting and often times a small world!
Hugs,
Mariette
Thanks Mariette. IGA's were founded in the States apparently, but we have 1400 independent family owned stores in Australia.
DeleteWe do live in a small world indeed.
