For one reason or another it's been a while since I contributed to ODP's Monday murals, definitely not through lack of choice. As a 'wannabe' artist myself :) it amazes me how real artists make it look so easy. Take a look here at Perth based artist James Giddy at work in Cottesloe, amazing! The above piece found on the wall of the Little Wing Corner Gallery on Hay St. is an excellent example.. if you bring it in and take a closer look you'll see how his seemingly random mix of colours and shapes work together to create the giraffe's features. You can learn the technicalities of art, but there has to be an element of natural talent also don't you think? I'm keeping mes yeux open for more :) Hope your week has started well, happy Tuesday, take care and stay safe..

It's a beautiful piece for sure! Such amazing talent.
ReplyDeleteColorful and beautiful and I, too, wish we had murals like this here in Portland!! Amazing talent indeed! Thanks, as always, for sharing the fun and the beauty! Hope your week is off to a great start!!
ReplyDeleteA very artistic piece, and looking in closer, it's as if there is a picture within a picture I see throughout.
ReplyDeleteBeing related by blood to a couple of artists, I can tell you that it definitely is NOT just a matter of DNA. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty one :)
ReplyDeleteI would really love to see more of those,
instead of the ones soaking with blood.
Have a fine Tuesday

Such creativity amazes me, always! Love the colors, too. And I agree that one can learn certain fundamentals of a craft but there's always that issue of talent that brings excellence to the fore!
ReplyDeleteAwesome work, Grace. Those eyes! Can´t wait to see it close up.
ReplyDeleteFantastic!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!

I like this one a lot, Grace!
ReplyDeleteThis giraffe is an interesting mixture of accuracy and whimsy. I like it!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great photographic eye so I'm willing to bet you are more than a "wannabe' artist.
Quite an amazing work. I do admire people who can do what I am hopeless at doing.
ReplyDeleteLove your title Grace, excellent! I wonder what it's like being called Giddy! ;-)) But then again, perhaps giraffes sometimes feel giddy too?
ReplyDeleteI do like your friend!

I LOVE this mural (and photo of it) Grace!
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice giraffe painting, Grace. (I did click on the link to watch the video . . . these time lapse videos of artists at work are fun . . . I have a post coming up in a week or two that has a link to the creation of the work I will show.)
