Finished Mural

Two weeks ago I posted about a mural that I was beginning to paint at Main Street Travel in Front Royal.  (See that here.)

Well now the mural is finished.  And here is the final look along with a recap of the project.

We decided to go with a brick window since the front window of her store is outlined in brick.  (See photo.)

The client is happy so that makes me happy!
