Along with Sami and others, here is my contribution to Monday Mural, this week being a couple of murals I discovered in Ocean Grove on The Bellarine as I stayed at Sister's, Bone Doctor's and Jo's home about 15 minutes away.
I expect both of these are commissioned works, or at least approved by property owners.
I was driving past when I saw this house. The car stopped very quickly as the hill was so steep. You may have to embiggen the photo a little to appreciate the work.

Welcome back. I have missed your posts. I love both murals. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks EC.
DeleteLove the flowers!
ReplyDeleteBob, they would be very cheery mid winter, I'm sure.
DeleteLovely murals! Thanks ever so much for sharing, Andrew.
ReplyDeleteThank you Damselfly.
DeleteThat second one is quite poignant.
ReplyDeleteJayCee, I hope the words aren't too subtle. They weren't for me.
DeleteBoth are fine murals. Did you enjoy your short break?
ReplyDeleteJB, it took a couple of days before I settled in, and the cats began behaving reasonably., but yes, I did. I am pretty well ok on my own.
DeleteExamples of cats behaving unreasonably? (I'm intrigued; tbh more intrigued than by murals; I know they're your regular Monday thing and having a regular thing is the secret of posting regularly, but after 5 days away I was hoping you might have a store of less run-of-the-mill content; maybe even make an exception to the murals rule for a Monday which is a public holiday)
DeleteI'll write a couple of posts about my time away, but this evening I am angry. See tomorrow's post. There isn't a great deal to say about my time away, as I didn't do anything much.
DeleteAnd it's not really working. It only appears to be working.
ReplyDeleteNice murals!
I agree Steve. The system appears to work very well for some of us.
DeleteBoth are beautiful murals.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pixie. Stay warm.
DeleteThey are beautiful murals. Glad you've survived your 'holiday'.
ReplyDeleteHehe Debby. I did. I wasn't too bad.
DeleteI like both murals very much. Very nicely done
ReplyDeleteThanks Roentare. They caught my eye.
DeleteGreat murals, thank you. Hoping they won't get tagged.
ReplyDeleteBoud, I expect they would be tagged here at home, but Ocean Grove is not a huge place.
DeleteI like both of these a lot.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back, Andrew.
I am pleased to be back home Pat. There is no place like it.
DeleteThat top one would stop my car, too. It's different!
ReplyDeleteKirk, I think I've seen it before but I wasn't on my own and I didn't like to test Ray's patience.
Delete"All we need is a little space" and a tree I'm thinking, for nesting in.
ReplyDeleteI love the painted fence with the sunflowers, the bee and butterfly, and the lady in the blue "ocean wave" dress is pretty cool.
Yes River, somewhere to make a home and a nice environment to live, not so different to us.
DeleteGood on them for creating a beautified public toilet. Public toilets should never be ugly or dirty.
ReplyDeleteHels, they are certainly much nicer than when I was younger, which is a very good thing.
DeleteWe all need some space. Calling it a ponzi scheme, that's funny. But true.
ReplyDeleteStrayer, that is truly what it is and maybe to lesser extent, applies to your country, or did. Who knows now.
DeleteVery different type of a fence but the art work does look amazing, and the bird in flight, we do need our space.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Margaret, I think the fence is fading a bit but it is so nice.
DeleteMurals add so much to boring walls. Welcome back.
ReplyDeleteThanks Fun60. We must speak soon.
DeleteBoth murals are beautiful. The bird is very well painted and the sunflowers are always joyful. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Andrew.
ReplyDeleteSami, yes the brightness of sunflowers are always welcome.
DeleteLove the mural on the house.
ReplyDeleteThat's good Diane.
DeleteIt is very much an art form these murals but they are beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteShould the artists read this, Thelma, they would be very pleased. Thanks.
DeleteMurals on houses are all very well and good when they are fresh but when there is deterioration - staining, fading and flaking - the decoration will be much less satisfying and there may be regrets.
