Talk about site integration. I loved how this little silo's roof aligned with the hill behind. Of course when it was new and shiny it must have stood out more, but now that the surface has aged and oxidized, it looks like it grew here.
The mural is complete! Now it comes down off the studio wall for a ride to Pendleton, where it will be installed on a high wall in the Convention Center.

Exellent! This mural is just breathtaking. I hope I can see it in person someday.
Regarding the extremes; You go, Don! Moderation is for wimps anyway. ; )
CONGRATULATIONS! Man what a beautiful mural and you executed it like a good soldier - swiftly and successfully bravo! Are you not tired of the green paint yet? :) Just how much paint did you end up using? And by the way, I'm impressed you weren't tempted to use 6-inch brushes :)
WOW whatever size, you sure put just as much passion into your work - you rock!
Oh how do you feel about the mural? I think you've totally conquered it!
Both paintings are terrific.
Wonderful, Don. Really well done.
way to go Don. finished... and its beautiful. as a past billboard painter/illustrator prior to photoshop and scanning, i know what all was involved. you rocked it!
WOW!! It's HUGE! Oh my, so wonderful Don, what an accomplishment!! Great pictures, too. (:
That's right, Silvina--who needs moderation?! :>}
Thanks for the kind words.
That is a lot of green, isn't it, Erika? The murals use less paint than you might imagine though, since it is applied pretty thinly, allowing the white ground to come through, much like watercolor. Next time I won't thin so much of any color but white, since quite a bit of paint is going to go to waste.
Thanks for the supportive comments!
Jason, thanks a lot--good to hear from you.
Hi Mike, thanks for your encouragement! I used to help a friend who had a billboard company--great training for a muralist.
Wonderful works Don! It's amazing how fast and talented you are.
Congrat for the large mural and also must tell you how I love your last small painting: Granary and Hill.
A great piece, touching and contemplative.
Hi Diane--many thanks for the support! Thanks for the visit.
Thanks Pierre, you're very kind. Love your latest bridge painting.
Don, this mural is amazing!! Great to see it contrasted w/ the little one!
Thanks Jane, nice to hear from you.
That watercolor tank is beautiful. You really are a master of different mediums.
Simply outstanding, the realism is better than in real life!!!!
Great stuff Don, you are making me homesick for my paints!
Thanks a lot, Onpainting (Bill, I think.)
Alvin, that's so good of you to say--thanks! Congratulations on your grand backpacking adventure--I enjoyed reading about it.
Hi Sheila--thanks! We artists are cursed, aren't we? Can't take a little vacation without thinking of painting. :>}
