This heartwarming mural is the work of father and son team Tim and Sam Bowtell. Together they have painted Sam's two children (and Tim's grandchildren), accompanied by the family dog and a chook in danger. It can be found at the rear of the old SEC building, with access hopefully through an often-locked gate. It was painted for the 2024 Benalla Street Art festival in late March. Swipe through the photos to see the artists at work.
I love street art. And I love sharing the images that artists paint on walls, whether it's here in Melbourne or in other visually exciting cities. I've been photographing art in Melbourne since 2005 and love being part of the street art community.
