Monday Mural - Mandurah Wildlife

Hello again, it's good to be back 😉. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.
Ours was busy, loud and fun with 16 people around the table on Christmas Eve, and 12 people on Christmas Day.

My last mural for this year is from the city of Mandurah, 72km (44,70 miles) south of Perth, our first stop during our 4 day family trip to Margaret River which started on the 16th December. 
The 3D mural portrays the wildlife that frequent the Peel-Harvey Estuary - pelicans, crabs, lobster and seals, as well as the resident dolphins from Halls Head beach.

Painted in November this year, in front of the Mandurah Visitor Centre by Jenny McCracken, a highly awarded Australian 3D pavement artist, who is also a sculptor, and paints portraits, murals and teaches art workshops.

If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you;
just follow the Linky steps below.   Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters.  Looking forward to your mural finds this week.  

Monday Mural Meme goes lives at 12,01am Perth, Western Australian time.
Thanks, Sami. 

Happy New Year, have a wonderful 2020!

  11. We had one (!!) - this is only your old Braunschweig, one! 3-D mural here and it was fun being and seeing people move around to get it!
    Awesome art!
    So nice you had such a wonderful time.
    When we were in Monkey Mia I was smitten seeing a dolphin so close by with eyes like we have. Next moment a pelican marched up to me at full speed, weeee...
    What a great mural to end the year.
    I thank you, Sami, for the beautiful memories!
    To a wonderful new year soon!

  13. I really like this trompe l'oeil which is very convincing and creates a perfect illusion. I too wish you a happy new year and hope that the rain comes back to refresh your region.
