Art on a Moerewa door




 My youngest son and I only usually drive our cars around our town so once in a while we take one of them for a blast out of town. Last week we drove to the town of Moerewa in his car, about 30 minutes away so I could take photos of the murals they have around town.

Without knowing who painted it, this mural sits on the outside of a garage door covering one of the local shops and symbolizes Cape Reinga, a mountain, kiwis, birds, waves and I think lizards. It's very reminiscent of Maori artwork.

Linking up with Mural Monday.

I like it a lot. Wish we can go to the zoo again and maybe they have a real Kiwi? Would love to see some.

I was going to say that it was a good blend of both cultures'art.

That is cool. It must have been hard painting on a ridged door like that, they did it well.

Absolutely fabulous way to help show NZ art. And on a garage door makes it even more special.
