In the country town of Cowaramup, also known as "Cow Town" near Margaret River I spotted this beautiful mural at the Lions's shed op-shop in Pioneer Park on the corner of Bussell Highway and Memorial Drive.
Painted by the very talented Perth artist Brenton See, who specilises in Western Australian fauna and flora. This area is home to the beautiful and noisy Cowara or Purple-crowned Lorikeet, after which the town is named (nothing to do with cows :)
While I was taking photos in the park, a local lady stopped to ask me what I thought of the mural and then proceeded to tell me Brenton had painted another mural just a block away in his Aunty's shopfront, where we went next :)
these giant birds are wonderful. I'd love to have paintings like these nearby
ReplyDeleteThanks Kwarkito. They are lovely birds.
Delete...Sami, you have so many lovely flora and fauna post. Enjoy your new week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom. It appears our mural artists like to paint Australian fauna and flora :)

ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thank you Mae. :)
DeleteThese are wonderfully painted Cowara Birds, dear Sami! I really like Brenton See's style - and I'm always amazed at how the painters manage to paint grooved, wavy surfaces so perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI'm eagerly waiting to see which mural you discovered just a block away!
All the best, Traude

Thanks Traude. I've heard mural painters say that these wavy surfaces are quite difficult and time consuming to paint.
DeleteBeautiful birds. Mine is a bird too this week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jim. A willy wag-tail, they are cute :)
DeleteI believe these are king parrots. Looks so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe website says they are purple crowned lorikeets. From pictures the king parrots have different colours. Thanks Roentare
DeleteThe are wonderful and such attractive murals. I understand why Cowaramup is known as Cow Town.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrew. Fake cows aplenty :) but I'm sure they also have lots of real cows.
DeleteThese are delightful! Have a beautiful week dear and thank you for hosting us again. Aloha

DeleteLove these birds and murals. Reminds me of 1995 when Ingo met one of these birds for real on his shoulder, if I remember correctly it was Lamington National Park.
ReplyDeleteHow nice that they flew to Ingo's shoulder. Thanks Iris

Hi, the link is in, just no photo, but won't allow me to enter it as it says it's a duplicate.
DeleteThat is odd. If you click on it twice the picture comes up.
DeleteBeautiful!
