Mural for the Garrison

Recently completed mural for the Garrison in Piedmont - the mandate was "foliage with three framed beetles." 

Here is the preliminary sketch I did, which astonishingly was enough for them to give me the go ahead to just start painting on their enormous dining room wall:

Lessons learned: standing on ladders to paint is hard. Buy a massive tube of green oxide paint ahead of time. It is possible to tie yourself in extensive knots over how to paint a lit lightbulb against a white wall. 


Closeups of the finished beetles: a stag beetle, a crimson beetle, and a tansy beetle.
