My friend, Todd, took a preliminary photo of the mural that our Art Club in Hawthorne Community (Leesburg, Fl) has been working on all winter. The project was more than we imagined actually. And when the holidays appeared we took a break. Then in January the weather turned "nippy" and we took another break.
The park employees painted the background a lovely turquoise blue over last summer. Then we did preliminary sketches and layouts in November...and in late January and Feb we began some serious painting. We used a lot of just house paints to mix much of the larger areas...clouds, water and waves, sand and palms. Some of the smaller items were acrylic paint (which is just house paint too actually).
We have to finish the central bar area now and tweak some of the details. There are about 10 of us painting. A pool party is planned for the end of March. So we have incentive now to finish up.
More photos to come.
