"Ladybug By the Sea"
Latex on exterior stucco walls
approx. 9' X 14'
ca. 1986
Painted illusion of lattice, brick and plants.
The brick columns were deliberatley partially obscured by the trees. You had to approach the mural to see them and, when you did, you discovered things like the (painted) hose nozzle left drippping on one of the columns.
Many of the elements are real (wood pile, foreground flowers and trees) while others in the background were painted. Some real garden ivy disappears behind a tree and reappears as painted ivy on the other side!
A very faint haze of an ocean is indicated in the background. Details are avoided to encourage the viewer's imagination and discourage tiring of the painting which would be seen every day.
