Silo artist Jimmy D'Vate has just completed his biggest project yet after a month of painting Kyabram's water tank.
Mr D'Vate said he received lots of support from residents during the painting process.
“I'm a bit tired but I feel pretty good,” he said.
“I got that burst of energy near the end because I could see all the hard work paying off.
“My family came up for the final week which also gave me that extra boost.”
The main section of the artwork focuses on the Kyabram Fauna Park and endangered species.
The artwork then flows into wetlands, displaying a brolga and a turtle, with the final side featuring the region's local rivers and a yellow rosella.
Mr D'Vate said it was a fantastic experience to work with everyone involved in the project.
Kyabram Project Committee chair Allan Weeks said he was "absolutely impressed" with the new artwork.
“We're amazed at how it turned out and we've had people visit the town from all over — from Wagga Wagga, Wonthaggi, Bendigo, Picola, Gunbower, Echuca, and Tatura,” Mr Weeks said.
“It's great for the town, there are cars coming by all the time and locals were coming up every day to see the progress.”
The final seal of coat will be painted on March 9 before the Kyabram Project Committee delves into phase two of the project, which includes work on the artwork's viewing platform.
Mr D'Vate will spend two weeks at his Melbourne home before travelling to Wedderburn, South Australia, Goorambat and then Phillip Island for his next projects.
