Looking up

Oil on Canvas ~ 22" x 28"

Bricks, bricks and more bricks

Over the course of the summer, I was working on a mural in Sunworks, a funky home and garden shop downtown Red Deer. It was mostly faux finishing, and took several layers to get the desired effect. I learned how to play with Venetian plaster and got to scamper up and down shaky scaffolding. I wanted to do a bit more to it, but there were a few scheduling conflicts, so it is what it is. And I'm pleased with the outcome. Here are a few pics of the finished product.

Soon there will be a fancy railing on the Juliet balcony
handmade by the amazing Trenton Thomas Leach.

The landscape had been there for 10 years. I did some much needed touch ups.

Cool archway.
