Aloha From The Sky
I love it when serendipity happens. The home-owner’s of a custom beach mural and sky mural I painted (See art blog How High Is the Sky and 7 Little Cockleshells All In A Row ), contacted me with some additional requests. The first was to paint their lanai columns to appear as if they were weathered wood dock posts with ropes ( See art blog Nautical Columns ). Next, additional images representing members of the family in the beach scene ( we’ll look at those next week ), and finally airplanes painted into the sky walk ways. However, they wanted vey specific airplanes. Not just a generic plane or antique plane. They requested 2 Southwest Airlines style planes. Each plane was to be painted into a specific section of the sky mural. Each plane also had to be pointed in specific direction. The result is absolutely adorable and meaningful for this family. I knew this Sunday I’d be featuring aircraft I’ve painted and revealing these 2 new planes. What I did not know was that this would be the week Southwest Airlines would be announcing their inaugural flight from San Diego to Honolulu. They’ve also resumed other gateway services to Hawaii. Having a dear friend who just moved to Hawaii and 2 other dear friends heading for a Hawaiian vacation shortly. It seemed serendipitous to reveal today the bright and colorful airplanes painted in the home-owners favorite choice of travel – Southwest Airlines.
