Murals

"Public art is for everyone!"

November 3, 2011 - See photo album. Sunny painting at the Sarasota Chalk Festival. See article in Sarasota Patch. Photos by William Mansell.

"Community Unity," 2011
The Carrollton Ridge Neighborhood Association chose an inspiring theme
for this three-story mural on Route 1 in Baltimore, at 416 South Monroe Street.
I applied two coats of primer, then painted with brushes from Aug. 21-Oct. 8, 2011.
The Baltimore Office of Promotion & the Arts commissioned this mural.
More details below.

Gardener in an Orange Hat, detail of "Community Unity"
This gardener is digging into hard-packed rubble, with bits of brick,
broken glass, nails and a bottle cap visible to the astute viewer.
The lush garden around and a robin's egg just discovered, represent adversity
and the rewards and discoveries that come with hard work, for the sake of community.

"Inside, gilded, coffered ceilings decorated with trompe l'oeil paintings soar over the grand, 5,000-square-foot lobby and period antiques are displayed throughout, with particular detailing that reinforces Copley Plaza's distinctive, refined character". - Historic Hotels of America

This is a detail of a 4-story mural painted for the Copley Square Hotel in Boston.
Here Charlie Chaplain has just plucked a flower from the painted window box.

I knew my illusion was effective when I was lowering the swing staging, and a trim painter
on his cigarette break called out to me to watch out for the awning!
