James Beattie aka DVATE

King Parrot and Scarlett Robin

DVATE’s water tank mural at Upper Ferntree Gully CFA responds to the surrounding region’s natural environment. Surrounded by the iconic Dandenong Ranges and close to renowned walking tracks, the mural depicts two local species, the King Parrot and the Scarlet Robin nestled within native flora. Rendered in a photorealistic style, the artwork emphasises accuracy, colour and depth, while also recognising the vital role of the CFA and the dedication of its volunteer members in protecting and preserving the natural landscape.
