Monday Mural - Diverse Life and Indigenous Flora

I love murals and street art. If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you.  Just follow the Linky steps below.  Once you start looking you will find murals everywhere.  The "Monday Mural" meme goes live on Monday at 12,01AM, Perth,Western Australian time. Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters. Looking forward to your mural finds this week.  Thanks, Sami.

Painted for the 3rd annual Darwin Street Art festival in September 2018 by Elle, a very accomplished New York City street artist, the mural represents the diverse life and culture found in this region of Australia. It can be found in Austin Lane, in Darwin's central business district.



Just below this piece on the wall to the left is another mural, painted for the 2019 Darwin Street Art Festival, by local artist Jason Lee, with a collection of indigenous flora.

    1. Thanks Amy, the Darwin street art festival seems to be quite popular. We had a couple in Perth a few years ago, but we haven't had a mural festival for the last 4 or 5 years...

  6. The first is very good. The others are quite good. There seems to be so many murals in Darwin.

    1. Thanks Andrew. This year was the 6th festival and they seem to get about a dozen murals painted each year, so there are lots of murals! I think I didn't even get to see half of them.
