Todd and Sam's Mural

As promised yesterday, my friends and fellow "Yankabillies" Todd James and Same Les******* (I will never know how to spell her last name) had commissioned me to do a mural in their new condo at the Encore. I met with them yesterday and planned a 4' x 6' mural of downtown Nashville as if we were standing on Broadway looking towards the river. Since these are good friends and they have guests coming into town this weekend, I made this project a priority and committed myself to getting it done today.

Lucky for me they already had a great base on the wall and they had a great idea and were open to my creative interpretation of their idea.

Here is Todd and his cool place:


and here is the view into the bedroom and the wall pre-mural:



Now here are some photos I took this morning of the view from Broadway towards the river:


Here is the sketch and tape I started with:


And the finished product:

It is so cool that you can see the mural from their living room...even if that means Sam has to make the bed every day ;-)

Another satisfied customer!

Here are a couple close-ups so you can see the detail:

I drove through the pouring rain to an art lecture and show in Dickson, TN this evening so I will tell you all about that tomorrow.
