Lotus Flowers new ferry






Lotus Flowers

A pair of beautiful magenta lotus flowers, sitting amongst the lilies in a pond.  There is a photorealism to this painting, from the delicate flower petals to the light reflecting off the pond surface.  



 

Bob Marley New Ferry







Bob Marley

The Legend - Bob Marley.  This portrait respects the creative genius in an understated simple depiction.  The edges of the mural have added splashes of green and gold in an abstract representation of the Jamaican flag.  


A difficult wall to work with: wide but short, with a large proportion of window, but the inventive use of the space available, has produced a fitting, well-balanced mural.



 

Amazon Tree Frog new ferry




Amazon Tree Frog

A cheeky Amazonian Tree Frog peering out from his watering hole, pulling back the vine leaf curtains.  A cute colourful character with crazy eyes and a wonky smile looks out on the passers-by in New Ferry.


Simple, colourful and eye-catching.  This is the perfect fit for the wall of Andy's Aquatics!



 

Tropical fish new ferry

Tropical fish

Tropical river fish.  This is a scene from the Amazon River.  The mural is a split shot: half underwater, half above water level, with the water surface reflecting the scene in a distorted fashion. ​

The fish are one Zebrapleco  fish and a pair of Discus fish.  They are painted much larger than reality as is necessary sometimes in murals







 

Pina Colada New Ferry

If you like Pina Colada

The last mural of Phase 1.  An idyllic beach scene, maybe the Mediterranean, maybe the Caribbean.  A pair of sun loungers beneath a parasol and swaying palm trees.  


Given that travel was severely restricted in 2020, this one was quite apt.  The mural brought the sun, sea and sand to New Ferry.  It certainly brightens up this building.  The two shops below, a sun tan shop (Sun Junk-E) and a currency exchange (Simple Credit), fit in with the subject matter.











 

Charisma's Girls New Ferry






Charisma's Girls

Four girls having a good old gossip whilst being pampered at the salon.  I liked the glamour and the spirit of the 1950's which has been captured in this image of all my exes. 


This was quite a complex image with many elements incorporated, least of all, four separate portraits which had to be spot on.
