7 Little Cockle
Shells all in a Row
This year has been
blessed with a stream of beach murals on privacy walls around lanais and pools.
Homeowners are spending more time vacationing and “stay-cationing” in their own
homes and maintaining social distancing from crowded beaches. Of course, they
still crave the beauty that is SW Florida. Cerulean blue skies with angelic white
clouds or perhaps sunset with brilliant orange and purple along with sparkling
water. Having a mural scene depicting a tranquil getaway is not only beautiful
to look at but gives the soul much needed rest from the craziness that is the
outside world today. Mural paintings which were once a “want” are actually now
a “need”. I’m honored each time to give through art these needed moments of
peace and happiness. Each mural is uniquely painted and most often incorporates
objects that have a particular or special meaning to the homeowner. A recent
mural is no exception. The client had specific instructions of items to be
included that represented and held special meaning to them.
I’m titling this one “7 Shell Beach “:
Another specific and
fun request was to have 5 seagulls painted into the mural. Of course, seagulls
in the are common but these were to represent the grandchildren. My personal favorite
is the seagull with mouth wide open and wings flapping. Hey, there’s one in
every family, right?
