Whenever we are in Fremantle I zip around the corner on South Terrace aka the 'cappuccino strip' to see if I can catch the elusive Horatio T Birdbath working on his incroyable mural titled coincidentally 'Horatio's Wall'. You might remember I told you all about him here. Couldn't believe my eyes, there he was actually painting, of course I was too shy to speak to him, I really have to work on that :) I also noticed for the first time the line separating the smoking and none smoking area. Since 2008 smoking has been banned not only from inside but also outside alfresco dining areas in Fremantle, what made me smile was that this line is within a stone's throw from the last cafe on the strip :) Happy Thursday, take care and stay safe...
An amazingly intricate wall!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful mural.
ReplyDeleteFresh is best.
ReplyDeleteOMG...that wall is unbelievable. What a talent!
ReplyDeleteI remember your previous post about him. Bummer that you chickened out of not taking his portrait!
ReplyDeleteIt is so beautiful! I'm always shy to talk to people too but have found that most people doing murals are happy to say hello and are often quite shy too!
ReplyDeleteA great talented artist in action but so are you. He would have love talking to you!
ReplyDeleteThat mural must have taken a long time to finish....
ReplyDeleteThe detail and the colour ... brilliant
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
His work is just amazing.
ReplyDeleteSweet bike! Art's not bad either. :-)

ReplyDeleteI do not know which I like best; the line of desmoketation or the mural!
ReplyDeleteBe strong, girl - you just HAVE to talk to him! Tell him how much his work is loved all over the world!!!
ReplyDeleteNice clicks. Beautiful art works.
ReplyDeleteIt's a magnificent mural Grace.
ReplyDeleteI like the line from fresh air to smoking zone.
I look forward to the day when France outlaws smoking in outdoor seating of restaurants. Why are smokers given the best seats? I never thought it would be banned indoors and it was, so I have hope.
ReplyDeleteUm mural simplesmente fantástico.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.

What a beautiful wall! Though I'm not sure that line will keep the smoke away.
ReplyDeleteI like that wall very much. I recognize your "problem". My husband speaks to everyone he meets, which I sometimes find a bit uncomfortable. But I must admit you get some nice conversations by doing so and now I try too and it works indeed. :)
ReplyDeleteAn amazing wall/mural.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a wonderful mural, Grace !
ReplyDeleteAwesome work for sure, Grace!
ReplyDeleteI´m with you. I always tell myself later: I should´ve braved up!
The worst was when we were stuck in Eneabba due to flooding in 1999 and I didn´t dare to ask the road-train-driver if he would show me his truck. Gahhhhh! Maybe he´d let me drive a meter or two even.
Did I learn a lesson? No....
Thoroughly love that top shot and all that it represents :).

ReplyDeleteI don't think your could have pulled me away. This is drop dead gorgeous. He puts my doodles to shame. Was he using a spray can or a brush. Love his bicycle. This is a wonderful post. genie
ReplyDeleteMolotow paint pens.
DeleteHello,friends.
ReplyDeleteThis is the one and only here happily semi obscure in retirement.
Thank you for all your comments.
I walked away from public work back in 2017…
and now I’m quietly working in my home studios.
Do justice to your talent.
