A most beautiful mural, wonderful work, love how expressive the eyes are!
It’s one of the most precious pieces I have ever seen!
Agreed totally, it’s so very beautifully executed master piece! Period!
This is fabulous – one gorgeous piece of work! The richness of skin tones, intensity of her stare. I love this Resa.
It really is telling. This artist knew how to say what they wanted. A true beauty!
Fantastic!!! Love that we can see around the corner and around the world at the same time!
Agree! Thanks to Carolyn, we are seeing around a really big corner!
Oh wow, Resa, you have done such justice to these images. They are indeed gorgeous.
Last Wednesday we dined with a couple of dear friends in Newcastle. We had to pass by the mural on our way and, once again, I was awestruck by the work. The colours and artistry are fantastic.
Thank You once again, Resa, it is a delight that you showcase such wonderful art.
xoxoxo
Thank you, Carolyn! xoxoxo It is such an honor to have this powerful painting showcased on GLaM. This image not only brings an outstanding piece of street art from Australia to all of us, but carries with it an important message. It is truly beautiful. Much love to you! xoxo
Yes indeed, Resa. There is a need for all people to appreciate one another. This mural, in the eyes of many, is a symbol of reconciliation. As is happening in countries where the indigenous peoples are undervalued, so too many of our indigenous people suffer.
As evidence of this, I learned recently this most beautiful work was vandalised with racial slurs. The Newcastle council staff removed the lewd picture and racist comments as soon as they appeared. A ‘Ms Claydon’, of the council, has asked for those willing to report any such violations to do so with speed. Well done to her.
Yes, Resa, racism is a cancer that harms everyone. Hopefully, we shall all see less and less of prejudice and elitism, and more and more of inclusion and non-judgment.
Finally, here is a link I believe you’ll enjoy, Resa. It shows the (almost 3 story) image in its early stages. xoxoxo ❤

I surely did enjoy seeing that! Why? Why? Why hate, when it’s so much easier to love? xoxoxo ❤
xoxoxo
BTW – Your wonderful ‘title’ did not escape my attention.. 😀
You are such a clever little soul… 😀

Resa. it is so real with a genuine beauty that reaches into ones soul ! Thanks for sharing it and blessing me with a smile! Hugs!
You’ve hit the nail on the head, Wendell, or should I say the heart in the soul. This work of art is Soulful, soul filled & soul willed! Hugs to you dear friend!
So, very, very beautiful! Wow! Gorgeous.
I agree, and I feel so fortunate to have this incredibly well done & well messaged piece in our collection.
How dramatic and well photographed
Maria, Thank You so much for the compliment. I shall pass it on to my man who jumped out of the car (after I’d spun it around) to take the image. We were driving past as it sang to us, and couldn’t resist such an incredible artwork.
I agree with you; it’s a wonderfully dramatic mural.
It’s a beauty, & I agree, well photographed!
This is one of the most compelling works I have ever seen.
I feel the same way. This artist, although stylistically different, holds the magic of an Alex Coleville in his brush.
So well put, and agreed.
Oh, wow, marvellous!
I can’t disagree with you! I feel so fortunate that Carolyn sent this in for us to see!
A new favorite, to add to the growing list of favorites, the eyes are incredibly done!
The eyes seem to ask …why?
Yes they do, such really great soul portrayed in the eyes.
Wow!
Agree! This is a very special mural. You know, it’s 3 stories high!
Oh that is impressive!
It had been defaced with racial slurs & anti aboriginal sentiments, but the government paid to have it restored.
Very good.
I’ve seen other photos of this mural. It impacts me every time.
It is a very powerful piece!
This looks just like a photo. Have you seen the new street art at Caringbah in Sydney?
It does look photographic! I have not seen the new street art in Caringbah, but I’d love to!
