I've had fun with these projects.
Below: I wanted these walls to appear 
crumbling with exposed brick. Ivy 
grows from behind.  Right:  Flagstone 
pathway disappears behind a brick 
archway.  A bird has made his nest on 
top of the crumbled wall.  Vines grow 
up in front and a cat sleeps behind 
the real stove.  Bottom:  Did this in a 
Hospital so the elderly would think they 
are sitting on a verandah looking out 
over a field.  Many of the details got 
lost in this picture.  Farm in the 
background, a school yard, geese flying, 
an arbor leading  to a pond.  Cat sleeps 
on the ledge.  The older folks told me 
this mural brings back good memories.
