Mile Marker 73.5

Mile Marker 73.5

We all have special places we love to visit and long to be. Or perhaps more than one home that holds a piece of our heart or favorite memories. A recent outdoor beach mural was a celebration of two homes near and dear to the homeowners. The mural is painted onto the first main property and graces the backyard. That home is the one they raised their daughters in. It had horses, dogs, cats, pigs, and even chickens. The daughters are now all grown up and on their own. The horses and pigs have moved on. But cats, dogs, and chickens remain, I even got to hold one! (see end of article) The girls will be returning soon since one of them will be holding her wedding on the property. Thus, why the backyard is getting gussied up. The mural will be a fabulous backdrop in the photos. Within the photo there is an image of a mile marker. That marker holds special meaning. It indicates the other property and home they have for vacations. While painting the customer shared tales of their adventures there. It’s heart warming to see family ties run deep. I’m honored that a piece of my art work will be in the background of their next family mile marker.

There is a door on the backside that leads into the garage:


Adorable sandpipers:


Of course, we all love our dolphins:


A pelican sits on top of the mile marker:


Another request was to have one of our summer storm clouds that seem to always accompany the setting sun:

First time holding a chicken ! She's a chatty little thing. She cooed and clucked  to me all day while I painted.
