Thanks, Sami.
Painted by local artist MissPolly, aka Polly Jonstone, for the 2018 Darwin Street Art Festival, this mural can be found at 46 The Mall, in Darwin's city centre.
The mural represents local girl - Artia -of Maori and Indigenous heritage, and how vibrant and young Darwin is, having the youngest median age of any capital city in Australia. In the background the blues and turquoise represent the sea, orange represents the soil, and the pinks and purples represent the Top End sunsets.
Another mural by Miss Polly -a "fortune teller" which appears to have been painted in January 2021 in Austin Lane, in the city's Central Business District.
I've recently posted 2 other murals painted by Miss Polly in Darwin - "The world belongs to those who read" and the "Sturt Desert Rose" . I quite like her style.
...these are wonderful and I have always enjoyed a pretty girl! Thanks Sami for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom. She's quite good with faces from other art work I've seen from her.
DeleteThese are both lovely, but I've always been a bit freaked by that third eye like the one on the lady in the second mural. Still, her work is stunning and she does faces very well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth. A face with 3 eyes is never ok for sure, lol. Although this one actually looks friendly :)
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteToo bad that she has the 'Danger' sign in front of her mouth...
Hugs,
Mariette
That is unfortunate, but there as a truck parked close by and I couldn't get a better picture. Thanks Mariette.
Delete😒
DeleteI really like these two very original murals, especially the second one
ReplyDeleteThank you Kwarkito :)
DeleteMiss Polly is talented and well represented.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly is talented Andrew, thank you :)
DeleteTruly Amazing mural works.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week ahead.
Thank you Rupam. Enjoy your week too :)
DeleteBeautiful murals, oh, the second one reminds me of our travels in Italy.
ReplyDeleteDarwin sure has grown, I cannot remember a single mural when we were there back in 1999 - but maybe, as I didn´t know you yet, I haven´t seen one cause I didn´t know what a mural was? (Unlikely, huh, I´m not blind).
Glad the murals are respected and the graffiti is just beside it.
Thanks Iris. I think murals have become popular from about 10 years ago I would say. I doubt they had murals in Darwin back then, it was a very remote place, now it's full of young people and a modern city.
DeleteGreat portrait murals, Sami. I've got a portrait this morning too
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie :)
DeleteDos murais gosto muito.
ReplyDeleteDas cartomantes é que não.
Boa semana
Obrigada Pedro. Dificil acreditar nelas, lol.
DeleteBoth are beautiful murals. What a coincident that the danger sign is blocking her mouth in the first mural. Thank you for hosting and have a beautiful week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy. With parked cars it was a difficult spot to take a photo.
DeleteYou found some very pretty ones!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marianne :)
DeleteBeautiful faces. Nice work from the artist.
ReplyDeleteThanks SC.
DeleteThe murals are very pretty. I like Miss Polly's work, it well done.
ReplyDeleteShe's very talented. Thanks Bill
DeleteWhat a shame that the construction sign blocks her mouth. You will have to make a trip back there when the fence is removed, Sami. I will be looking forward to the untrammelled view!
ReplyDeleteThanks David. Sadly with parked cars I also couldn't get a better view.
DeleteThank you Sami
ReplyDeleteThank you Cloudia :)
DeleteMiss Polly is very talented! Her work is beautiful.

DeleteI really like her style too! Thanks for hosting us, Sami.

ReplyDeleteThanks Traudel, I've entered it manually. This time you were the only one that it happened to.
