Finally finished the mural for my friend.  Well, I call myself finishing it.  I could probably work on it forever. Who knew painting a mural could be so much fun? 


It became a puzzle to be solved as I worked on it.  Some areas are solved very nicely while some areas could use more work.  I just had to throw in the towel for now.  Maybe I can go back in a few months and work on some of the problem areas.

Next project?  Not certain about that but I am sure something will come up.

Another busy week. Lots of great weather so that means lots of golf.  But I need to get back to painting. Here is the mural that I have been doing for a dear friend.  It has been so much fun working on it.  It has been like a puzzle. I started out with a sketch but when I put it on the wall, the mural took a life of its own.  I still have to add more detail but it is looking good.

It started as a Piedmont countryside but it quickly morphed to a mountain scene.  Couldn't help but add more mountains in the distance, a Christmas tree farm and off course there is a cabbage patch.

It is beginning to take shape at this point.

More detail has been added.

Seems like Murals are where I am right now.  Maybe they are my calling?  I do know I enjoy painting them and I am learning a lot as I go.

This is a mural that I created on the fly. We needed a sign or image to point the kids upstairs to their Sunday School classes.  I came up with this one night and painted it the next day.  It was getting to crunch time and that is when the best stuff seems to come out.

He is pointing upstairs with his gloved hand and holding the sign with his other outstretched hand.  His feet got hidden by that darned chair rail that goes all over the building.

Can't believe I have not been here in well over 2 years.  Guess it is time to get caught up.

I have been painting a lot lately and I will do my best to get some images posted as soon as I figure out how.

This is the apple tree I painted as part of the murals for Thyatira.
 I had a lot of help with the background.  The tree was a challenge as I had to get on a ladder. And the apples had to painted about 5 times to get them to look right.

More images to come.
