Monday Mural - The Swing

Another mural from the archives, taken ages ago in Mandurah, a coastal city situated approximately 72 kilometres (45 mi) south of Perth.

This gorgeous swing mural was painted by Mandurah young muralist Tahnee Kelland, in March 2017, on the walls of Paper Planes (a homewares and fashion store) at 5 Mandurah Terrace.  The colourful side walk bricks were also painted by the artist.

When I was in Fremantle recently I again photographed this mural, which I posted a few years ago. I thought it was time to revisit as I consider it to be one of the best murals in Perth.

It is 78mt long (256feet) and is painted on the exterior of a furniture and homewares shop East West Design at South Terrace in South Fremantle.

This extensive mural was commissioned by the owners of the shop, and was painted by the talented artist Graeme Miles Richards, a New Zealander who resides in Perth, and it took him over 7 months to paint.
The various shopfront designs reflect the eclectic mix of wares they sell - from Asia, Africa and Europe, and this mural was paint.
I took over 30 photos of this beauty, so much to see... and here are a few of them.
