Monday Murals - For the love of Dogs

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 

We went camping for 4 days during the Anzac weekend (25th to 28th April) to a sheep farm near Margaret River (3h south of Perth) - Big Valley Campsite - which we loved.

We've been to Margaret River quite a few times by ourselves and with all our overseas visitors - it's a beautiful coastal country town, home to about 200 wine producers, cheese makers, timber forests, underground caves, surfing beaches... but there's always something new to discover at every visit.

This time I saw quite a few murals along the main road and then walking around I found more murals in the streets behind. So during this visit, including a few murals in the neighbouring town of Cowaramup I discovered about 15 new murals, which I'll be posting in the next few weeks.


Both these murals were painted by Perth artist known as Hope Perth (birth name Brendan) in Margaret River. "Jade" a Border Collie was painted in March 2021 and be can be seen on the main road - Bussell Highway.

This box was next to the dog mural, as can be seen above, no artist name

This next mural painted by the same artist in March 2022 can be found on Fearn Avenue in Margaret River. "Portrait of Valerie" - recognizes Margaret River's farming history and the great women of the community who have provided for us.
