Birgitte Again?

It seems that the artist from yesterday's blip (Birgitte Hansen) appears again today but this time in a completely different place. This intriguing mural appears on the side of a shopfront building facing Katoomba Street. It is best viewed from the pedestrian footpath accompanying the adjacent laneway.

This is a different style of art compared to what may be found of hers in other public places but it appears on her website and so I attribute it to her. In any event, it is not a simple Blue Mountains landscape. Close examination reveals a surprising complexity which continues to puzzle me. Finally I do like how the top part of the mural almost matches the natural blue sky above. I venture to suggest that at certain times of the day, at certain times of the year the blues would almost completely match. 

Further investigation (thanks Skeena) suggests that either this is an interpretation of an earlier work by  Reinis Zusters or else this is actually the latter's work. Zusters did live in the Blue Mountains for the last 30 years of his life and so he could have done this prior to 1999. A mystery to be solved.

STOP PRESS!!!!  Here is a quote from Birgitte's website which finally seems to resolve things: I had to dig for it, though:

"My best known murals completed during my time in the Mountains include high profile projects such as ‘Mountain Boulders’, a major mural commissioned by Blue Mountains City Council in Katoomba Street, Katoomba based on a painting by Reinis Zusters ..."
