The Main Street Travel mural got chairs yesterday. Now that everything is laid in I can go back and start with some details. Still several more hours to get done but it’s coming along. Just hoping to get it all done before they put carpet on the floor so I don’t have to be “extra” careful. 🙂

2- Mural with Sky laid in
3- Mural with Ocean and Sand laid in
4- Mural with Sand Shrubs laid in
5- View from direction looking out window
I spent most of yesterday painting a mural at Main Street Travel. (You can check out their Facebook page here.)
I enjoy mural painting. It’s fun to see the client’s vision come to life. And Ginny is a wonderful person for which to work. She and I had fun deciding what and where to put it. You can see from the photos my step by step work yesterday.
I got the background in: sky, ocean and sand. Today I hope to get the rest done: palm trees and Adirondack chairs.
