The Making of a Mural

Being a self taught artist all my life, needing to share my skills and whatever knowledge I've acquired with others. I decided to create this blog for some of my recent mural projects. Not that I know any thing special about painting things, but simply because I enjoy sharing my projects with others.

I've taught art classes for years now both in military communities abroad and at a local technical school, but never have I been able to teach a mural class. So...anybody reading this one, will be my guinnea pigs if they want to do their own murals. NO stencils, NO preliminary sketches...I paint from my heart and my soul. I paint fast and intensly for about 5 to 6 hours a day with little or no breaks other than stepping back long enough to grasp a view now and then. But when my arms tire, or my mind slows down..I simply quit for the day and come back again tomorrow. "IF" that is, I am in a painting mood. As unfortunately, I am a mood painter most days.
