Greetings from Under
the Sea
One of the most
beloved creatures in SW Florida (and perhaps even the world) is the Sea Turtle.
There are only seven species of sea turtles left in the world (the flatback,
green, hawksbill, leatherback, loggerhead, Kemp's ridley, and olive ridley).
All seven species are on the endangered list. This incredible gentle marine
life outlived the dinosaurs. It is our duty to see that they remain on earth
for millions of years more.
The sea turtle is a
common request in my custom painted murals. Recently, there was an added twist
to the commission. The mural was to be painted on the exterior entry way of a
home. Outdoor commissions are nothing new. But it is usually on a home’s lanai
or for a commercial building. I was delighted to create an underwater scene
that greets the neighbors as they drive by the home. The neighbors loved it too
and it seemed the whole neighborhood dropped to chat while the mural was being
created. It brought a smile to everyone.
The mural has a bit of protection from the elements with the roof overhang and angle of the wall is perpendicular to the sun. The background has been painted in Valspar Duramax (exterior house paint in Satin) The details are painted in outdoor acrylics.
Think bold! Bring a
smile to your neighborhood with a custom painted mural at your entry. Contact
