Progression of a Mural


The photos below show the progression of Sarah's mural. Sarah is a gifted young pianist, and so a mural of her at a baby grand piano was the perfect addition to her cheerful room. The tiny flowers on her wallpaper were duplicated on a larger scale and incorporated into the mural. The beautiful music she plays fills the air and rises up like an offering to God, as symbolized by the musical notes .


Before the mural was started - a blank canvas! After painting the basic green background of the grass, and the blue sky and clouds, I began painting Sarah at the piano. The mural is complete!

Sarah's mural was painted in December 2009.

Sarah actually had a dream that there was a picture of her playing a baby grand piano in a meadow of flowers painted on her wall. Her mom decided to make her dream come true! She supplied me with a photo of her daughter sitting at the piano, which I used as a reference. As stated above, the flowers were duplicated from her wallpaper.

Their family resides in West Dundee, Illinois.
