On the Saturday 20th July, when I drove to Safety Bay to buy the Fusion mineral paints, on my return home I went past a new residential development called "The Edge", in the suburb of Baldivis, about 30min south of where I live.
In the big park in the middle of the development were two pavilions with murals by Stormie Mills with his mainly monochromatic iconic characters.
Painted in 2017 and titled "Family".
The artist was born in Northern Wales and moved to Perth with his family when he was 3.

Thanks, Sami.
It was a nice park with lots of child friendly play areas, barbecue area, and a large grassed area for the residents to enjoy.
On top of a gigantic tree some loud noises made me look up, and I saw a couple of Australian Ringneck parrots and I noticed one of them coming out of a hole in the tree.

Obrigada Francisco, boa semana para si tambem.
DeleteThose characters are very appealing. I bet they are responsible for some lively conversations as people pass by.
ReplyDeleteThanks David. Just realized my photo with the ringneck parrots had disappeared :)
DeleteThey are definitely unique. It's a really lovely park at least. I hope to join in next week.
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely park indeed Elizabeth. Looking forward to your mural next week.
DeleteSuch expressive faces! I really like your murals this week.

ReplyDeleteThank you Catarina :)
DeleteMais um cinco estrelas!
ReplyDeleteBoa semana
Obrigada Pedro :)
DeleteThese families have been through a lot!
ReplyDeletePossibly Linda, they do look worn out :)
DeleteHm. I´m struggling a bit with this one.
ReplyDeleteFeels like this family knows they are different and cling together just because of this fact?
Is that a show house later? I remember in 1999 we pretended to be "rich". We parked our big Nissan LWB in front of show houses and had a look, it was bitter-sweet. Especially because... with help of family and back in then we might´ve made it indeed.
Once there was another German couple who thought no one speaks this language and they bragged about how "bad" that place was. We had a hard time not saying anything...
Just his style I suppose Iris. Yes there were lots of show houses and lots of people visiting. I love to visit the show houses too, but didn't do it this time.
DeleteInteresting set of murals. They are definitely ones you'd want to look at a little longer.
ReplyDeleteThe subjects don't look very happy but they sure have one another. :)
A nice find, Sami. And thank you for hosting. :)
Thanks Dee. His characters always look sad.
DeleteNow I am wondering how a ringneck parrot looks when it is coming out of a hole in that tree. A magnificent one. I must say that the people on the mural look a bit sad.
ReplyDeleteI think most of his characters look sad, and maybe the dark colour doesn't help either.
DeleteHis work reminds me of a Family sculpture here in Toronto.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie, that's interesting.
DeleteThe families look nervous and sad!
ReplyDeleteYes they do :( thanks Pat.
DeleteCute birds
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam, they are pretty.
DeleteStormie's characters always look a wee bit sad don't they Sami :) He has such a distinctive style.
ReplyDeleteYes they do Grace, the monochrome colour doesn't help.
DeleteThe parrots are quite a sight to see.
ReplyDeleteThere are quite pretty, thanks William.
DeleteWhat a lovely area to hang out in with family, and the magnificent mural really sets it off. Hugs, RO
ReplyDeleteThanks RO, glad you enjoyed it :)
DeleteI especially love this one, Sami. I'm not sure why but I really do -- it speaks to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie, glad you enjoyed it 😊.
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteWell, Stormie Mills's monochromatic iconic characters look very constipated to me!
Strange looks...
Sending you hugs,
Mariette
LOL, I had to laugh at your depiction of the characters, but maybe you're not too far off :)
