Monday Mural

I'm joining with Sami and others for Monday Murals. What is in the coffers to show you this week? They can't all be brilliant.

A box appeared in Prahran Square and as we ate our salad rolls and drank our coffee the artist worked away on mural painting. I didn't take a photo of what was being painted because it was so boring. But these two of a sulphur crested cockatoo and a wedge tailed eagle aren't so bad.

    1. JB, yes as a non artistic person, I am so often in awe.

  2. I don't want to sound petty, but can a free standing canvas be a mural?

    1. Hels, it is actually a box, temporary one I hope, I think to store equipment for pre schooler entertainment in the square. We have been there a couple of times when it happens in behind the box from where we sit.

  4. Since they're not on buildings, I'm wondering if they're permanent displays.

    1. Kirk, I am sure they aren't. See comment to Hels above. The location is very bad.

  9. Interesting paintings. Who cares about pedantic definitions of what is a mural? Remember the conceptual art motto: "This is art because I say so."

    1. Mae, that is true. Murals by their nature are temporary.

    1. TP, especially the eagle, perhaps the size of your bald eagle?
