The street artist known as Winchester's answer to Banksy has stunned the residents of Bishop's Waltham with mural of a little girl at a village bus stop.
Anonymous creative Hendog is the South East’s answer to Banksy and is known for his stunning murals that have cropped up in urban and rural locations across Hampshire.
Pieces of Hendog art are often painted in black and white with colourful three-dimensional elements - coming out of the painting - that bring the murals to life.
In his most recent street work, the anonymous artist painted a little girl playing with a daisy chain that comes flowing from the wall and on the grass at the St George's Square bus shelter in Bishop’s Waltham.

Hendog has yet to publish a photo of the mural on their social media, however, the artist shared an “Instagram story” showing himself at the scene of the mural late on February 11.
Southampton Waitrose employee and resident of Beeches Hill, Bishops Waltham for 25 years, Jackson Booth-Millard, 36, spotted the mural on his commute to work.
He said: “To be quite honest – I was hoping it was Banksy, but some local talent is just as good.
“I quite like the mural and it brings some life into the area. It has a very interesting look.
“I Googled the name Hendog as I could see the piece had been signed – he appears to have street work right across the South."
Other Hendog murals in Winchester include a series of teddy bears, a young girl picking flower petals in Market Street, and ‘Christmas Kev’ by Winchester Bus Station.
The street artist had also made his mark at the bottom of St Catherine’s Hill more than two years ago with his original piece ‘boy with a kite’ on the wall next to the footpath by The Handlebar Café.
