Back to more murals from Margaret River.
On the main street of Margaret River - Bussell Highway - on the walls of clothes boutique Marine and Co. Store is a whale painted in November 2019 by Owlet art aka Cara Sanders.
The Margaret River region has the longest whale watching season in the world hosting an estimated 35,000 whales as they migrate to our warmer waters between June – December.
Wanda the whale is inspired by the Southern Right and Humpback whales who migrate through our pristine waters.
Embellished with a blue wren, dolphins and waves, the shadow effect makes it feel as if Wanda is swimming the streets with you.
...I would expect to see one of Wanda's cousins in Maui. Thanks Sami for hosting, have a Jolly July.
ReplyDeleteI hope you see the cousins swimming by. Thanks Tom
DeleteThe whale is really neat! Australia really has wonderful art work, you show us.
ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thank you Mae :)
DeleteYes, I agree with Tom. We see many whales in Hawaiian. They generally come in the winter. I'm trying to work out in my mind why they are in your neighborhood now because it's your winter. Fascinating creatures.
ReplyDeleteThey are here between June and December - so Winter to first month of Summer. Thanks Cloudia

DeleteGrace and P would cringe, but I have to say: There is a The Simpsons-episode on just this! A Whale....
ReplyDeleteCertainly playing in America (though there are episodes playing in Australia, too!)
Beautiful murals.

DeleteWanda is great!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteLove the whale, great mural! Take care, have a great day and a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteDear Sami,
ReplyDeleteWanda, the whale brings back wonderful memories of our whale watching tours in California and especially Iceland. We saw so many humpback whales up close and it was a fantastic experience that I will never forget. A very beautiful mural - and the colorful Wooditjup mural also appeals to me.
All the best, Traude
