When we were painting the mural in Newcastle, we had a chat with the owner of the bar just around the corner. He was also the owner of the bar 2 doors down my house & studio in Maitland. So, he knew about the rug I painted on the footpath in front of my door. He liked it and asked if I could make one too in front of his bar in Newcastle.
I loved to, so we did. I created an updated design, fully detailed and there was no need to finish it in a rush.
I’m very happy with the result. It would be great if we could do more public art in this style.
