Monday Murals - Various from Old Doha Port

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

A mix of small murals today, all from Old Doha Port (Mina District), which were painted for the 5th "World Wide Walls International Mural Festival" in Nov/Dec 2023.

"Battoula", painted by Qatari artist Ghada Al Suwaidi, the mural depicts a Qatari woman in traditional clothes but in a unusual colour, which reflects the pastel colours of the Doha port buildings. 


Painted by American artist Kevin Lyons, who is known for his signature "Monster" characters, that have been used to adorn t-shirts, skateboards, cars, sneakers... Soft shades were used to blend with the pastel colours of the surrounding buildings in the area.



Painted by  Qatari artist Noura Al Mansoori, "My Inner Peace" , where the artist visualises a stage of deep thought, contemplation and meditation, guiding the audience towards inner peace and helping them discover their rightful place. (from the artist's website)





PS: Sorry to interrupt Monday Murals again, but I'll be going to Portugal on the 26th February for 3 weeks for a family reunion to celebrate my daughter Karina's 40th birthday on the 8th March, as well as my birthday 2nd, my great-niece's 5th and my dad's birthday 11th March - with a big party on the 8th of March!

So next week 24th I'll still post a mural, but no murals on the 3rd, 10th or 17th March and I'll return with Monday Murals on 24th March. I'm sure I'll bring you some great murals from Portugal :)
