Well... I finally made it back to my sister's home to work on the mural. Today the oxygen man (my dearest friend in the whole wide world) showed up to make a delivery. Mr. Beasty tracked me down.  :(

The mural is coming along slowly as it has a high degree of detail in it.Here's a small detail from part of the background it's done in acrylic.

SHEESH!!!

You uncouth twit!  That is NOT Judy Garland that I am playing, it is her daughter, Liza Minelli!  

Yes, at times they do sound very much alike, but clean the shit out of your ears and LISTEN!

Put your raggedy trailer right next to my sexy pink house, and I will teach you what good music REALLY is!

Chuck

It is looking awesome, Tony!

You can't even see the lines between the paint-by-numbers colors!  (Do they even HAVE paint-by-numbers anymore, or am I again showing my age?)

Breathtaking Tony. Thank-You! Sorry about the beast. I have a shoulder if you need it bro!

Tony - I am absolutely captivated by this piece. You pulled me right in from the beginning - the mind starts asking all sorts of questions. How do those houses stay where they are? What would it be like to live there? Could I fish outside my window? Others may have different questions.

It's just stunning. I'm finding that I've gone back to this thread several times just to contemplate.

It's stunning.

I hope I'm not going to get into trouble but it has a 1950s feel.

Gotta love it. START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or END PRINTPAGESTART PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or END PRINTPAGE

Absolutely eye-popping, Tony.  I keep coming back to it, over and over, and finding another level of detail.  

Thank you for showing us a bit of your work--you should do this more often, you know?

Very nice, Tony.  The colors seem so right, soft and illusionary.

That is beautiful. It just transports you right there, with the sun on your face and the sound of the sea.

Wow.

Your use of light is masterful and brings the painting to life.  
Only a true artist can achieve this effect.

Magnifico!
