It’s All About The Family Beach

Any business owner will tell you that repeat customers are everything. As an artist it is especially heartwarming when a client returns again and again. A few years back I had the blessing of painting a very specific beach mural. It was specific not due to its location but rather due to the items painted in the mural. 2 chairs to represent the homeowner, 5 sea gulls to represent the children, 7 seashells to represent the grandchildren, and butterflies to represent grandparents. Recently the homeowners decided to sell the property and move to a home in Estero. But what about the mural? You can’t exactly remove an entire pool privacy wall and take it with you. And the new home’s lanai isn’t situated with the same outdoor wall space. The answer is to have the mural re-painted onto the entry wall from the garage since this is where everyone trapses when they enter the home. And new articles are added into this new mural. Dolphins for the in-laws and turtles for stepparents. After all the mural is all about family.
