Lotus heart and peacock dreams, working with imagery which is personal to the patron.

Mural commission in early 2017

Early in 2017 I received a mural commission from a fellow who had bought a few of my paintings last year. It is filled with imagery of personal significance to him, and some elements of mine which grew out of the process. I loved every minute of this work, which took about two months to complete.
