Monday Mural - Fauna and flora in Canning Vale

As I mentioned last week I spotted 3 murals when I went to pick up something I bought on Facebook Marketplace, from the nearby suburb of Canning Vale. 
Here is the second mural which was painted by two Perth artists - Melski McVee and Brenton See on all 4 sides of the Clifton Park change rooms in May this year. What a pity they had just finished painting it a few days before my visit. I would have loved to have seen them in action.

This awesome mural showcases the fauna and flora that can be found in the adjacent bushland, and I found it breathtaking, as they are both such amazing artists!

If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you; just follow

  3. What a remarkable find, Sami. This is amazing, and the close-ups of the animals make it even more enjoyable. That is a HUGE mural, indeed.

    Sorry I had to miss this week, but I plan to join you next Monday.

  6. It's a very large work and so well done. Surprisingly the black parts where the air outlets are add to it.
