A couple of months ago I went to a shopping centre not too far from work and came across these very colourful murals at the Civic Square library just behind it -in the suburb of Booragoon in the City of Melville.
Entitled "Everything Melville", this mural was painted by Mel McVee (Melski) in 2017.
On the bridge connecting the Civic Centre to Garden City Shopping Centre, a low wall of murals framed the bridge. This mural was designed and painted in 2020 by the Year 8 to Year 10 art students from Applecross Senior High School.
Near the library a sculpture of an owl - "The Getting of Wisdom", by Len Zuks.

In the coming weeks I'll be showing you another mural by Melski that I found during our camping holiday and very similar owl sculpture that I saw when we visited the mining town of Boddington - in fact a town full of quirky and beautiful sculptures.
Plus more sculptures from the sculpture trail in the town of Byford, when we drove by on the way home.
It was a fun holiday for sure!
...Sami, it good to have you back, I hope that you had a wonderful time. The colors and details are wonderful. Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom. Yes, we had a nice time, always great to change scenery even for just a few days.
DeleteThank you for the colorful hard and for including the owl sculpture. We will look forward to seeing the other one next time, Sami. Wishing you a very pleasant year ahead. Aloha!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cloudia. The next owl will come once I write up about our holiday.
