COMMISSIONED: Mural, 14' by 8', for Lone Chimney Taxidermy (that's me standing there in the doorway...the mural is above the wainscoting.) Interestingly, this is the only painting I've ever done that was burned and then bulldozed. The business closed, the building sold, and since I had painted it directly on the wall, it couldn't be removed when the building was demolished to make room for a new business. So this painting exists only in memories.
