Monday Murals - Hope

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 

Knowing my keen interest in murals, Dr S. who works in the same clinic where I work told me her son in law, Jerome Davenport (Ketones 6000) had finished painting a mural in Wolf Lane, in Perth's city centre in August this year. It's called "Hope".

Wolf Lane is a quirky lane in-between two busy streets, where the first murals were painted for Form Public Art Festival in 2014. Those murals are still there and a few new ones have been recently added.

You can read the post I wrote about that first festival in 2014!

  2. How neat to be connected to the muralist through your co-worker. The child in a boat named Hope is a beautiful image full of meaning.

  3. Great, dear Sami! This is a very beautiful and expressive mural and a cute child - and hope is a good motto. As Tom said, the world needs a lot of it. And it's also great that you know this artist's mother-in-law!
    All the best from Austria, Traude

  6. To me it is scary. A child on it´s own on the ocean... But it sure is very well done and there is always hope. And the child really looks like she is full of hope and not scared at all.

  8. Yes, this child in a boat called hope is a lovely metaphor. Life is a frail skiff sailing on an ocean of uncertainty and no one can predict whether the winds and currents will be favourable. And then, technically, the production of the image is very well executed.

  12. The mural is well painted but a bit frightening. A small child alone in a boat? There are probably more optimistic ways of illustrating "Hope." (Jack from Southwest Daily Images.)

  18. That is lovely, but also a little sad. I guess maybe I need more hope?
