Found on Mersey Street, Invercargill | CCC'S Street Art Contest #242
I was back in Invercargill February of this year and hunted found four mural as travel to and from site. I could have missed this one as I only noticed it through my side mirror and had to reverse back for it.
I found it on 53 Mersey Street West, Invercargill. I am hardly ever a fan of the written mural, so the lady's face obviously stands out for me in this mural. Though I like the entire colors used.
I can't make up who the artist is from the wall, a Google image search told me the mural is from Christchurch, which is a complete lie. Google lies also if you don't know!
With this mural I am entering for this week's contest.
We owe it to ourselves to make Hive great

Awesome find Joe
Yes the portrait stands out so much. Beautiful. The bright colours stand out so much.
Hahaha yes, even mr google lies sometimes 🤣😂
Have a wonderful evening.
!PIZZA
Happy to spot this one through my side mirror.
Lol yes Google can't get away with that 🤣
Thank you Jackie
A lovely day to you
!PIZZA
Great catch…
He was naughty hahaha 🤣
You are welcome.
Thanks Joe… I just finished the second layer of paint on the dining room floor 22m2. Now it needs to dry 7 days before I can put up the skirting boards and get the furniture back in. So tomorrow shopping again… and Wednesday I continue painting in the kitchen.
So much work, I am so tired Joe.
Enjoy your day.
!INDEED
Well done, now it's all about waiting then you move the furniture back in, you must be tired home renovation is not easy work from the experience of helping my ex boss in SA.
Time flies it's shopping for you again, time to go to the city 😊
Do take it easy and rest in between.
Have a good night sleep.
Thank you Joe 😊
I finished the kitchen walls and cabinets today.
The skirting boards have to wait until I start the wooden floor (sanding and painting)
Yes, soon the dining room is all finished.
Tomorrow I paint the walls of the hallway… they ceiling is already done by hubby.
Yes, it was a good drive. The shopping went well.
Now back to work again hahaha
I try to rest, but so much to do next to the renovations. Like cooking, researching things and doing taxes in 2 countries for last year hahaha as we move to much, I did finish those luckily now. Ach well… I hope I have time to post soon about the renovations.
In 3 weeks we go away for a few weeks… I will rest more then.
Have a good morning.
!PIZZA
Good progress I think and great that hubby got the ceiling done considering it might strain your back, am being careful with back related straining work now.
Glad the drive for shopping went well.
Documentation is not easy and for some reason am getting tired of some documentation here that could help towards Residence when the time comes. I think running around for documentation all my life in South Africa is affecting me physiologically I feel uninspired to do it again but New Zealand is different so I try to encourage myself to do what I can do.
You must be looking forward to traveling in 3 weeks time to offer you some resting time also.
Good morning Jackie
Yes, I just can’t paint any ceiling anymore…
Good you are careful too now so it can slowly heal.
Oh I so know… every time we moved countries I had to start all over again. Some countries is fast but others take forever to gather all paperwork. Sometimes the bureaucracy is crazy and people behind the desks don’t know all rules.
I can imagine you feeling like that. Don’t give up Joe. NZ is indeed different. Keep going until you have it all done for your residency. It is important. Is it 5 years to gather all for permanent residency? In europe it is, you get first temporary 5 years. Or 1 year you have to renew each year. Depending on visa.
Hubby has it here in Europe. (Now the UK left Europe) After 5 years he can go for permanent. But… hahaha we moved out of Ireland after 1 year so had to start here in the north again and we will move this year again. So the next EU country he will have to start from 0 again.
One thing I don’t like about moving countries, all the paperwork involved and all the time you put into it to get it sorted.
Yes, Joe. I can’t wait. No more strain on my body.
A bit of rest and just being. Exploring a new area and sunshine… spring weather. I so need a break.
We have to take 3 flights hahaha as from up here in the north we can’t go in one or even 2 flights to southern France. So a long traveling day.
Have a wonderful evening 😊

Becoming a resident here is so different, a lot of factors count. You could become a resident straight away from overseas depending on skill level and qualification. As for me I don't have to wait for five years, by the end lol this year I should be able to apply for resident if the visa rules don't change, it have changed 3-4 times since I got here. But I also have to meet some points towards my application so am trying to try and get my work experience evaluated into their qualification here and it will be a point to boost me am hoping to be successful about that.
I will try not to give, thanks Jackie.
France 🇫🇷 here it comes again for you. Now less than 3 weeks. Something to look forward to.
Sounds different indeed.
That is not long anymore, if no rules change.
I hope you can get the work experience evaluated so you get more points. Good luck with that Joe 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Oh I am soooo looking to visiting France. I am also meeting up with one of my best friends there. Haven’t seen her since years. So will be great to catch up and warm up in the sun.
I am counting the days.
Have a great Sunday Joe

I smile at the thought of you warming up in the sun in France, I can imagine how much you long for sunshine.
Have a lovely one.
You are welcome.
Aawww that’s nice to hear. 😊 Thank you so much. Soooo counting the days.
I finished today the dining room and have put all the furniture back in. Another room done. 😁 woohhooo
Have a lovely day Joe
!PIZZA
Awesome you've made great progress over time. Well done 👏
Yes, it is looking so good. A shame we wont enjoy it for a while.
Tomorrow I continue with the landing, stairs and walls going down. Think that will be a big job. Although I already got the glue and cement like substance off the steps from the stairs. Now I need to restore them and the edge that goes into the wall. A lot of sanding off lacquer and scarping the next days.
I figured out somebody had put laminate over the stairs and pulled it off in the last 10 years or so. Cut of the step noses and put a lot of glue and other stuff on. It is a mess… I hope I can fix it and make the wood shine. I will paint it (the stairs) as they are too damaged but it will look good once I am finished.
Thank you Joe 😊
Thursday we get more new snow ⛄️ crazy… until Sunday so could be interesting.
!LADY
It is a shame truly for all the renovation you've done and not enjoy it for a while but I suppose you have a good reason for that 😉
It sucks when someone does a bad job lol. I saw a photo of a bad job last week I had to scream "what the fuck" the cabling was so bad so it is a similar case with the job done over in that house and you seem passionate about getting it done properly.
That place is too cold it was 3⁰ C last night here I was so cold in bed. I hope some warm days come your way soon.
Yes, there is a good reason for it.
Sounds like you fully understand. Some people have no idea what they are doing. For now and the future. So when I leave here… I will leave it in good order for hears… decades to come.
I can be proud of it.
That’s low also… we had freezing temperatures again and snow is coming… i can imagine you dint want to leave the bed even though you are already cold. More blankets… layers needed habaha
I hope warm days come soon for both of us 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Good night Joe

Somehow, I feel the portrait compliments well the written artwork on the wall, although the portrait is what's easier to discern for most of us :)
Wonderful find!!
Quite a great blend 👌 no doubt lol even the colors the woman's face just stand out for me I suppose 😄
!PIZZA
Wow, this is a really amazing mural shot. The focus is on the woman, her gaze is so sharp. And it contrasts with the colorful letters.
Thank you I was more attracted to the woman so I tried to give it more focus 😊
!PIZZA
Stunning wall with these beautiful letterings and this portrait. Always great work in this city. Thanks for sharing these pics on The StreetArt Community.
Have a great day
Invercargill have proven to be filled with great murals.
Thank you 😊
