TWO distinctive murals are on show at the Green Man Lane estate in West Ealing after housing association A2Dominion ran a competition for artists and residents.

The hand-painted murals take inspiration from the changing of the seasons, with spring- and autumn-themed designs bringing a splash of colour to the central pedestrian route through the neighbourhood.

The first was created by Frankie Strand, who vision puts nature at its heart, with the design capturing some of the emerging signs of life that come with spring.

The spring concept is located on the wall of a gateway to a central landscaped courtyard and portrays seasonal plants such as hyacinths, crocuses, tulips. Birds, including swans and robins, also feature prominently.

Frankie said: “It was great to have such a large wall to work with, featuring so many plants I love to see coming out in the springtime.”

The second mural takes on an autumnal theme and was created by the Living Wall Murals team of Clare Wilkinson and Mary West.

Located at the western gateway to the central courtyard, it is inspired by the orchards that flourished on the Green Man Lane site centuries ago.

The mural features autumnal wild flowers, grasses, dried seed heads and bright coloured leaves synonymous with autumn.

Green Man Lane residents had the opportunity to vote for their favourite design from a selection of entries. They were then entered into a prize draw to win a framed print of the artists’ designs.

Green Man Lane is a regeneration of an outdated 1970s estate of 464 homes. It will provide up to 945 homes, along with a new primary school, landscaped courtyards, community spaces and a neighbourhood heat network.

The regeneration is a joint venture partnership between A2Dominion and developer Real.
