Mr D'Vate said it felt great to bring his vision to life.
“The project has been a long time in the making, pretty much two years, so it feels really good to finally get it done,” he said.
“It’s been a struggle, we’ve had extremes of heat, rain and wind, which is the worst for spray paint, but that’s all part of painting outdoors.
“Word is getting around and people are starting to stop by and have a look.”
Mr D'Vate has been staying in Barmah while he worked on the project.
“It’s probably one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed at, the amount of wildlife I’ve seen coming into Picola is amazing,” he said.
Picola and District Improvement Group president Jeanette Holland said Mr D'Vate's "brilliant" artwork was developing quickly.
“It’s fantastic, it’s coming together so well,” she said.
“There’s a forest scene and on one side where you can see a large egret that represents the water birds of the Barmah Forest.
“A superb parrot is the main feature which is large and colourful.
“We’ve had a steady flow of people through town who have stopped to have a look, we’re seeing lots of interest.”
Ms Holland said the Improvement Group was still accepting donations for stage two of the Picola silo art project, which will see a second silo painted.
Those who wish to donate can make a deposit through the Bendigo Bank Silo Art account: Account number: 171 100 456, BSB: 633 000.
