| I have dedicated all my projects to my Granddaughter Ashley. She has moved out of state, and I am missing her allot. She will be a great artist someday. I love & miss you Ashley. And I can't wait until I see you again. XOXOXO. Love, your Grammy. |
This job was not just the mural, it included the faux finish on
the wall, and this only took 3 1/2 days to do.

This client wanted her courtyard to appear a little larger.
I think I succeeded in what the client was looking for.

This is what I am currently working on. This is going to be the most detailed project I think I have ever done. This home is located in
Mesa, AZ. The client Donna and I seem to be on the same wave link mentally, she thinks of what she may want one day and the next
day, I paint it and surprise her. This project is fun, and I love it. It is going to be her "Little Sicily" in memory of her Father, whom I feel
is inspiring us as I go. Donna, it is a pleasure to be working for you and with you on this. Thank you for picking me. My best work by
far.

This is how it all started....I started at the top. Putting in the clouds until we felt that they were right. Then the hills and vineyard. From the
right side, I added the first windowed apartment with flowers & vines and the aged look to the building. Then on the left side, I started
the second apartment, and kept working down on the left side, down to the smallest detail.

This is the left apartment in process. One detail
after another as it grew. Notice the clothes line
with the red long johns and socks. This was fun.

This is the first restaurant. I couldn't
help but start detailing as I worked on
this part.

Here are close ups of what has been detailed for the restaurant so far. Close up of the outdoor chair. A close up of
our Chef, and a close up of our bread and the aged bricks on the wall. This takes time, but the results are wonderful.
Also, I’ve added more detail to this side of the mural. Where before, the shelves were empty, now they have
cheeses, breads, soon to be olive oil and bottles of wine. Also, I've added aged wall & bricks and a Chandelier
behind the Chef. I looked for the right door knob for the door. I chose this "Thumb latch" it was perfect for this
restaurant. Working on textured walls is more time consuming, I have to use more paint to get the effect
I am looking for.

This is what is happening to the center portion of the mural so far. The entire gray on the wall is what I call mortar, it is the start of the cobblestones that I
will be painting on the rest of the wall. And I'm looking forward to really get into this portion of the mural. This is also to show before's, during's, and
after's. I just love how this mural is coming together. The latest shows that I've started the cobblestones and finished the Espresso Shop and almost
finished the Winery. Well, tomorrow is another day. All flowers will be completed at the same time.

This show’s all three stores painted. It seems to take a full day
just to paint one store. Like I have said before, I am a detailed
artist, so everything is painted down to the smallest thread.
Some people have asked what is going above the cupboards.
They are going to be turned into columns.
