Nearly finished!

Young artist Ariya McDonald is putting the finishing touches on a traffic light control box in Sandgate, Brisbane. I hadn't noticed this box previously, which Ariya tells me did not have a mural on it. There are very few unpainted ones around Brisbane now.

 

Apparently after your application to paint is accepted by the Brisbane City Council, it gives the artist a kit of gear including paint to do the work within two weeks. Ariya, who gave me permission to take her photo is a student at the local Sandgate District High School, which she pays tribute to on the side of the box. She has included books for learning and an Australian White Ibis which are prolific locally as the needed links to the area, a fundamental requirement for permission to paint.

 

Sunday is usually my flickr day off but we discovered Ariya working away as we went to the chemist today.
