Military Tribute Mural at Love Boat Cape Coral, FL

 Military Tribute Mural at Love Boat Cape Coral, FL

Love Boat Ice Cream has opened a new location in Cape Coral, Fl. Located in the new plaza at the NW side at the intersection of Del Prado and Pine Island. This is their latest location. You can also find them on San Carlos as you head out to Fort Myers Beach, on Dani Rd in Ft Myers, and downtown Ft Myers on Hendry street.

The Cape Coral location continues their dedication theme to our military and "front liners".

Today's focus is on the military tribute mural side. Dedicated to the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard and Space Force. The background is an abstract American flag. Int. Latex with glaze Double Lapis HGSW1371 is used to create the blue field. The blacks are in Int. Latex Tri-Corn Black SW6258. The yellow for the Army Star and band are in Int. Latex Valspar Sunny Jonquil. The balance of colors are in acrylics.

Army Boots and dog tags are painted next to the Army logo:

To the far right side the mural continues featuring "front liners". That side of the mural will be revealed in a  few weeks. So stay tuned!

God Bless Our Military !

A Kitchen Aquarium

 A Kitchen Aquarium 

An aquarium in a home has many health benefits. It can lower blood pressure and reduce stress. But what do you do when there’s also cats, dogs, and kids running around? Instead of installing an aquarium you have one painted. You don’t have to worry about remembering to feed the fish. You don’t have to change the water and filters. And the cats won’t bother the sweet little aquatic creatures. 

This home’s “aquarium” is painted under the kitchen counter. It’s viewable from the dining area, family room, and the lanai: 




A close up view of the some of the cute critters: 




Another advantage to having a custom painted underwater mural is that the client’s favorite koi that lives in the outdoor pond can be painted into the underwater scene: 



Once the mural is dry a clear coat is painted over it to protect it. For the above mural, Modern Masters Supreme Clear in satin was used.
