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.
