"Wow! Brilliant! Amazing!" - some of the responses from people who have witnessed the brand new towering art work in Nyngan.

Art work on silos and water towers is becoming a real tourist attraction in towns now across the country.

A nationwide silo art trail has been created and it extends over 10,000 kilometres.

Bogan Shire Council General Manager Derek Francis said it was already capturing attention and was expected to give pause to travellers.

Bogan Shire Council engaged artist Scott Nagy to undertake produce the artwork.

"The actual painting took around three weeks, but there was an extensive period of public consultation prior to finalising the design," artist Scott Nagy said.

"I grew up in the Blue Mountains, developing my skills in aerosol as a youth with some of the most renowned local graffiti artists.

"I studied fine arts at Nepean Arts and Design Centre where I learnt traditional painting techniques, refining my knowledge in colour theory and perspective.

"The majority of the murals I paint are site specific, I enjoy the process of responding to briefs by clients and travelling to paint in public spaces where my work can become part of the community."

Mr Francis says the feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive and is already ticking tourism boxes for the council.

"The design reflects the natural beauty of the Bogan River and includes significant fauna and flora," he said. 

"The water tower is situated next to the Nyngan Bowling Club and is visible from many areas in Nyngan.

"Early indications are that travellers are stopping to have a look at the art.

"We have already received many positive comments from locals and visitors."

The project cost $107,000 and was funded by the state government.
