Thanks, Sami.
Mural painted on the corner of the new BP service station on the corner of South street and Gilbertson road, in the suburb of Kardinya, city of Melville, inaugurated in September 2020 and painted by Perth artist Joanna Brown @laelinedesign.
The mural is part of the Percent for Art Scheme, a State Government initiative started in 1989, where up to one percent of the construction budget for new building works over $2 million are to be spent on artwork commissioned from local artists.

It certainly fits the area well. I like how it wraps around and the symmetry. She's certainly a great artist. I think the black background added to what I would call a POP factor.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth. Yes, the black background enhances the flowers.
DeleteVery fine initiative to spend money on art done by local artists!
ReplyDeleteJohanna Brown's mural is definitely art which calls for attention.
Thanks Duta, yes a great initiative to help artists.
Deletethese giant flowers are absolutely beautiful and perfectly made. It's a feast for the eye and very comforting. Have a good week
ReplyDeleteThanks Arnaud, have a lovely week too.
Delete...they pop against the black background. Thanks Sami for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom.
DeleteBeautifully done.
ReplyDeleteThanks William :)
DeleteThe commitment to art, and the allocation of funds, on new construction is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is a great commitment to support local artists, thanks David.
DeleteThat's a good idea about committed art work spending. I think we have something like that here but it is a long time since I've heard it mentioned. These are good murals and money well spent.
ReplyDeleteI hope all States have something similar as it's a great idea to help out artists. Thanks Andrew
DeleteThat is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing them. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThank you, enjoy your week too.
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteThat is huge and bright!
The shape for yellow or golden wattle is not accurate though as the flowers are perfectly round dots... To me it looks more like the Acacia denticulosa.
Hugs,
Mariette
Thanks Mariette, I've changed the description.

DeleteQue seja uma semana florida e perfumada
ReplyDeleteObrigada Pedro, igualmente.
DeleteGreat initiative. Beautiful mural work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rupam.
Delete1989! Wow, no one should ever say again Germany is advanced!!! We are so not. Murals only made it over here a couple of years ago in that style! OK, maybe a bit more but back then we had but ugly graffiti.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mural, I love these flowers.
We have an Australian section in the Botanical Garden, do you remember the place?
When (not if!) lockdown is over I go and have a look.
Oh Iris, I can't even remember if I ever visited the Botanic Gardens in Braunschweig. Back then, sadly I wasn't as inquisitive and interested in seeing it all...
DeleteThis mural is really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteVery pretty mural and a great initiative. Have a great day Sami.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill :)
DeleteWow so colourfull!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marianne.
DeleteReal beauties those wild flowers. I like it and also the presentation on a black underground.
ReplyDeleteThanks SC :)

DeleteGreat mural. I love the way it fits around the corner of the building.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon :)
DeleteI like that mural as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Catarina.
DeleteIt's a good one, Sami. We have the same type of art funding here. It really makes a difference when art is included in a project.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat. That is wonderful to hear other countries have this type of funding for art projects.
DeleteGreat mural! I am using a different browser and it won’t let me submit my post.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity Linda, I'll try post your entry.
DeleteBeautifully colourful they are Sami, really cheer things up..
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace :)
