On a visit to Subiaco recently I saw there were some great new murals, so I went back the other day and did a walkabout and spotted a few more. I also took snapshots of sculptures which I’ve always admired.
The featured image is called “Sky’s Chorus” by Clare MacFarlane and shows a migrating flock of Carnaby Black Cockatoos.



From the same wall, quite difficult to get a shot of the whole wall down the alley.

I enjoyed my afternoon walk in Subiaco, reacquainting myself with this suburb. It was like a ghost town during covid plus the landlords decided to get greedy! Many places shut down, but on this Friday afternoon it was buzzing with weekend drinks starting early. I noticed too that the “Sip and Paint” bars are becoming very popular. Also called Canvas and Cabernet, where you paint a masterpiece with a brush in one hand and a drink in the other, sounds like such a fun experience.
My favourite mural here is “Boy on a Red Bike” – how about your’s?

Sip and paint? I dread to think what I’d come up with! There are some fabulous works here, Aly. I especially like the boy on the red bike.
Amazing, all of them!
Thanks Sofia 😊
There are so many to like in this post ❤️ Thanks for sharing Ali!
Thanks Teresa 😊
The Boy on a Red Bike is one of my favourites too, along with the first one 🙂
Thanks for your comments Sarah 🙂
My second choice was the first black cockatoos
Yes, that’s the one I meant 🙂
The murals are enchanting! “Subiaco was Built on Sunday” is my favorite with its upscale graffiti vibe. “Boy on a Red Bike” is my second favorite. Thank you for sharing these with us.
Thanks for commenting Kellye
There were quite a few down alleys
really incredible murals! I love the detail they put into them and how they use the features of the building in the picture.
Amazing aren’t they
I often wonder how they paint on such large canvases
Having a bit of a wifi issue currently and not all your photos will open, but from what I can see it all looks fab!
Thanks Phil
Hope you’re still having a great time
Oh yes!
Sip and paint are everywhere now. A fun thing to do. Love the black cocktail mural and the ? sloth?
Thanks Amanda, it’s a great concept getting creative instead of just drinking
Not sure about the sloth I had to look very hard to find out details of these murals
🙂
Nice share
Thanks 😊
The furry monster with the big eyes is so cute!
