Backyard mural for Sandra(UPDATED)

This is now officially the biggest project that i've ever painted by hand, but it was fun to create.
The client(Sandra) was very happy with the peaceful scene i painted for her backyard, but she wanted it extended to fill out more of the fence to complete the look.
The total project is now (6)6x4feet plywood boards attached to her fence and it took about 6 weeks together.

**************************Customer Testimonial*************************
"I would like to complement Karl Bailey on another job well done on the work of art that he did on my back yard fence. It was extraordinary. I am very pleased with the finished product. I can't believe to express how detailed oriented Karl is and was on my project, which I am told was his biggest project yet. Karl is so easy to work with and he takes the time to listen to what you want and then he tries hard to put your thoughts on canvas, he has a uncanny talent of understanding what's in your mind when it is difficult for you to put it into words. I would have to say that the passion he has for details really shows in his work, (and in my case personally right down to my beautiful fat cat sitting on the bench) and because of that talent I believe he will go a very long way in his art career. I highly recommend Karl Bailey for any art project you may be considering having done."

Backyard mural for Sandra

Here it is finally. This is my latest mural for a special lady at my church. She wanted me to paint a peacefull scene for a backdrop behind a garden fountain in her backyard near her lovely gazebo sitting area. I painted it on (3)6x4feet plywood boards that will be attached to her fence. I'm not sure exactly how long it took me to complete this, but i know it was about 3 weeks.

A re-paint of Oz for another co-worker

My co-worker Jonny saw the painting of the Wizard of Oz that i did before. He just knew that his fiance's friend Staci would love it for her birthday gift since she was a big fan of the movie and he was right, she loved it.
