More lovely images John. Great art work on the tanks. Can't beat a bit of wriggly tin for a canvas!
That last one would be a good challenge for you to put some of your bird shots on!

St. Arnaud - Kyle Torney

About the work

The Silos at St Arnaud were painted by Ktorney Art, aka, Kyle Torney and are officially the 38th set of silos to be completed in Australia.
Titled ‘Hope’, Kyle has told the story of three pioneer residents of St Arnaud, a former gold mining town, situated between Ballarat and Mildura.
During the 1800's ‘Hope’ was about a miner looking for a fleck of gold in his pan, ‘Hope’ for his wife, will she will be able to buy food and clothing for her family and ‘Hope’ that a young child will prosper.
Kyle is a local resident of St Arnaud and is dedicated to the promotion of his town through tourism. He has now painted many murals throughout the town.

The artist is an inspiration to many John. Such a talented guy. You've captured his skills well. They are all brilliant art works and I do like #4, the "Farmer in Flannel".

There is a mixture of sadness as well as hope in the miner's face. So much detail, from the furrows in his brow to his whiskers.
