Another mural I spotted when we were on the way home from Dr J, after picking up some pieces of furniture when she moved housed in October.
We took the river route home and I spotted the mural and had to ask Jose to turn around so I could go and photograph it 😊.
It can be found on the walls of the Freshwater Bay Museum at 66 Victoria Avenue, Claremont.
The building was built in 1862 and originally functioned as a school. It later became a church, a boarding house for men and a police station, and only became a museum in 1975.
Sadly I haven't found out who painted the mural.

Thank you Mariette, have a nice week.
DeleteLarge-scale fully realistic murals are unusual. SO glad it hasn't been graffitied!
ReplyDeletebe well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Yes, it looks in good shape. Thanks Mae
DeleteThese naive and very bucolic paintings of a bygone era, which make one think a little of customs officer Rousseau, are quite charming and soothing. Have a nice week.
ReplyDeleteThanks you Arnaud, enjoy your week too.
DeleteNeat that it shows the town's history of settlers.
ReplyDeleteYes, quite nice. Thanks Amy.
DeleteObviously without the car, the scene looks at little Amish. It was a good find.

DeleteThis mural has such a vintage feel to it. You got some great close-ups, too.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I forgot to link today. I don't know where my mind was, but not on the computer.
Thanks Elizabeth, glad you linked already, you have a beautiful mural.
DeleteThank you :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice one, Looks a bit like they were Amish and I kinda expect them speaking German ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh. Galeria Kaufhof has shot down btw...
Yes it does look very Amish. Another big dept store closed, that's sad. Thanks Iris and have a wonderful Wedding anniversary too.
