Murals for Friends

I painted this mural in the kitchen of a friend named Pam. She lived in the Bay Area of Northern California, but has since moved to Southern California.  It was a curio shelf and took about 6 hours to paint.

The Bear mural was one I painted on the nursery wall of a friend in North Highlands, for Peggy Sopher. Her "baby" is married now, with a family, and is in the Coast Guard.

The Teapot Mural was painted for my Canadian friend, Randi Waddell, in Baja, California, Mexico. She lived in a house I had lived in for several years, and I painted the mural to set off her clock on the wall.

Murals for Our House

When my children were small, we lived in an old Victorian house in downtown Sacramento. The house was in need of repair and after painting the rooms, I decided to paint some murals.
These are a few of the murals I painted in their bedroom.

The Shop At Peacock

In Peacock, a wonderful woman named June Carlson used to run a little antique store. There isn't much in Peacock these days, so her place was about the only happening thing going on there.

I painted some Morning Glories on the building, and taught some art classes, hoping to get her some business.

The building used to be a Spanish-Speaking Church, pastored by Ray Flores. When I first moved to Texas in 2001, we attended the services there and it was wonderful.

It's a quaint little shop, full of unique items from around these here parts, and they served a wonderful luncheon, with the savory cooking done by June Clark of Peacock. It's a place you should visit if you come through West Texas. June had many wonderful stories about her Uncle Joe Matthews who was a character around there for many years.
