Started this yesterday. I like painting clouds

The horizon line will be covered by some bushes.
It gets a fence in front and a trellis built in that alcove where the restroom doors are.
the plan is its a courtyard.

Pretty fun gig.

Wow, that's really cool and looks like fun. Is that in a church or day care?

Toledo Zoo.
New Children's Zoo we are building

Here is the other stuff I worked on with my co workers.
The big one is finished now. Its even better than these pics.
We hired a guy but he ran out of time so we pretty much doubled what he did in density and added all the dramatic shadows

141' x 13'
In this pic its very close to finished

this area looks better now. Ill try to find the latest pics

Phil,
You are a talented man. I agree with Dakota Kids that people couldn't figure out what a stick man was that I drew.

I admire creative people. My wife was very creative. She would find things other people would throw out, and use them to decorate our house. We had a long hallway with a wall at the end. She found an old round top door, and had me mount it to the wall after she had painted an outdoor scene on the wall that could be seen through the glass in the door (several people tried to open the door). Another was that she had me build a picket frnce on a wall, and she painted grass on the bottom at the floor, and put fake vines with berrys into the fence. She found an old round top window frame that she had me build small cross pieces in, and she put stained glass in the small sections. It is 4 years this month that she passed. I wish some of her creativity had rubbed off on me.

You know I was picturing in my head the whole description what you said your wife created. Kinda getting an over all feel for your home then I read the last part

Sorry to hear that brother. I can't imagine.

Nice work! I'd have a hard time maintaining the same look each day if I was painting that. Monday - dark, wet, mossy forest.... Friday, sun comes out and all of a sudden a beach appears with tiny bikinis and.. and..
