Local artist, Zowie Crump, set the ball rolling with her bright and beautiful birds on the walls at the bowling club.
The second colourful creation was provided by young students at Mathoura Public School who gave the school cow a new burst of colour.
The most recent has been part of the Murray River Council art project.
The water tower near the swimming pool bursting into life with a range of birds and other creatures.
It has certainly brightened the area and those involved are to be congratulated.
The water tower art is being completed by Spanish artist DULK.
Council expects the work to be completed next week, provided all this poor weather hasn’t set work too far behind.

The Mathoura community has always been one to pitch in whenever there was an opportunity to improve facilities for young and old - and there were numerous means to achieve them.
One way - which will be remembered by many of you - was the Mathoura Easter Fair and Cork Club.
Residents were required to have a cork in their possession at all times.
Should they be unable to produce the cork when requested, they were required to make a donation towards the particular project.
One of the projects to benefit was the construction of the learn to swim pool.
Once built, it continued to be financed by the group.
Club members back in the day included Ken Falahey as treasurer, Jim Crump as secretary, Neville Dolan as president, and Gus Thomas.
Of course you remember that; well some of you anyway!
