Regreening a Mural

I had a little encouragement and companionship while working on the regreening of the Mineral King mural. It wasn’t the normal type, with questions and requests for business cards.

But wait! There’s more!
Winchester closer to me, Cliffie here in the foreground.
Time for a little help from my photos.
Willows on left, done.
You can see how the willows on the right look grayish bluish by contrast.
This might be finished, or maybe after letting it mull for awhile I will see ways to make it better. At least the greens are back to their correct colors now.

One of the most difficult parts of painting a mural for me is that the brushes don’t hold their shape. They get clogged up by paint, the ends splay out, and it is just impossible to draw with them or make edges look clean or accurate or anything at all like I want.

Sigh. Best viewed from the back of a fast horse. . .

  1. Now, come on. The result is STUNNING! (Yes, I know, aren’t we all our worst critics?)

    I’m trying to figure out where inside my house I could have you paint a mural of our cabin. Wouldn’t that be cool?

    • Sharon, you keep thinking. . . move some furniture, toss out a bookshelf. . . I’d love to paint your cabin inside your house!

  2. I think it looks amazing !!!!!!!

    • Thank you, Anne! The difference is shocking, from faded green to new green.
