Tile Mural

This is a mural painted on tile in a client's home in the Sacramento
area. It was installed about a month ago, but the tile setter
transposed two tiles (in the vineyard), so it looked kind of strange.
I went back to repaint the "strange" part. Came out pretty good. Hard
to tell it wasn't painted this way in the beginning.

Vagabond Artists

Back in the colonial times, mural artists would travel from town to
town in their wagons full of paint and brushes, as well as a bed. Once
they hit town, word would spread they were there, and the townfolks
would schedule murals with them while they were in town.

Today I started another project with my travel trailer to stay in
while I'm working. That's it in the distance. Kind of feels like the
old-fashioned guys, except no one else knows I here. I was also
informed there is a mountain lion in the neighborhood. Bears and
coyotes I can handle, but a mountain lion, they're mean. Guess I won't
be wandering around outside at night.

End of Home Show

Time for a little fun before taking everything down. Good turnout and
many leads. Now starts the fun of follow up. Back to Tahoe on Tuesday.

Home Show

At another home and landscape show in Sacramento today. This year I
also put a mural on tumbled marble on display in the show. Will be
here all weekend. It's raining and chilly.

Racoons

Here's a shot of a mural I did awhile back. Returned today to do some
touch-up on the faux finish. The tree on the right mirrors the real
tree outside.

2D

Thought this was a fun Kodak (iPhone) moment. The orange cat is real,
the black is painted in a mural. Since the camera is two dimensional,
as is the mural, the combined effect is intriguing. Yes, it's one of
my murals.

I Resolve to...

Clean up this studio! That's a custom mural on tile you see off to the left. It has been clear coated and is ready for delivery. Just cleaning that mess up will help a lot. But, there's more.
