The Murals of La Jolla organization approached me with their desire to install a new public art project on a building in town that’s seen several projects painted there. After working out the details, the project was scheduled for mid-July 2021.

We started with a mock-up (below):

When painting day arrived, we had all 42 colors on hand. The previous mural art had faded, it was time to make the wall like-new.

First, everything was power-washed. Then, primed. After that, the paper pattern full size layout was applied. After that, three days of painting.


Here is how the completed work turned out…


…and here is a short progress video…
