Finished!

Not much more to say, so let’s get right to it.

Fourth and Fifth: Close-ups of the sponge painted textures, blends, layering and drips.

Sixth: View from our back door, the door everyone uses to enter our home

Seventh: View from the side, at our gate

Eight-Tenth: Sequence as you walk away from the door, starting at a view of the entire mural

We are very happy with how the mural turned out. I must admit I was terrified when I started this project, having no idea how to do it, but I wound up having a ball.

The photographs don’t really do the mural the justice. The colors are even brighter in person, and the large mural has lots of impact when you stand next to it. Guess you’ll have to come over and see it yourself-just call first.
