While looking for murals last time we were in Paihia I saw this one on a bench chair outside the Paihia War Memorial Hall. Painted as part of the Focus Paihia Project this one was chosen for their 50th birthday celebrations in February 2013. A competition was held, members had 3 weeks to design and construct a seat that would be quirky, colorful and and eye catching while promoting both Rotary and the Bay of Islands Rotary Club branch. This one won a $100 prize which was used by the club for further community projects.
Linking up with Mural Monday.

Nice street art -- the cut-out shape of the bench is imaginative. I like the wave design as well.

...nice colour palette too. I always love the way seo gets stylized and marvel at how we can always know it represents sea. We love the sea. xxx F & Mr T
Beautiful, nearly too beautiful to really take a seat!
Reckon people rather take pics instead?
Not often you see murals on seats - I like it :)
Beautiful bench that reminds us of the sea. Thanks for contributing to Monday Murals Amy.
There are murals absolutely everywhere in NZ. This one is just lovely.
Oh Amy, this is a very unusual and lovely mural on that bench. I can see why it was a prize winner. It's nicely colored, too.
Love arty benches.
Great and a unique mural. It looks fantastic on the bench.
You know I'm going to love this Amy, perfect touch of the ocean 🐬
