Kings Park Mural Lennox Head, NSW Australia

In early April this year I was approached by the Ballina Shire Council (Nth. NSW) to tender for a mural to be painted on to a recycling water tank above Lennox Head in the north of the shire. On the 23rd. of April I was awarded the tender.
The theme for the mural is around suburban living & the healthy coastal lifestyle of Lennox Head. I approached the design with a collage concept in mind. I researched the history of the area & visited the mural site & township many times taking notes & reference photos.

After 3 to 4 weeks of researching & making notes, this is my first drawing. It was done in about 20 minutes to try & give a visual of all the images that had been running through my head over that time.

Taking my first draft I then fine tuned & drew to scale, pushing the strong ideas & refining the weaker areas.

This is the full colour rough that was presented to Council. So far it has been well received. We are now waiting for public opinion before proceeding to the next level, which is putting the paint onto the wall. Stay tuned…...
