It was SO great to be back working at the Attleboro Public Library on another mural!
Back in August, I finished the first of my “Magic Window” murals at the APL. The concept was to extend the existing “real” window bank with “magic” windows looking out at something unexpected! The first window mural was of an underwater scene, complete with a sea turtle, coral and exotic fish.
This time, we wanted another window (on the opposite side of the same “real” windows) looking out at a completely different (but still unexpected) scene. After playing with some different ideas, I landed on doing a jungle scene – which Library Director Amy Rhilinger loved!
As always, my first step after agreeing on an idea is to paint a scale design to show what the final mural will look like. Amy signed on as soon as she saw my concept painting – so I was on to painting the final thing!
It was fun hearing the excited conversations kids and their parents were having as I painted this – and it is rewarding to know my mural will be the source of fun conversations for many years to come!
Enjoy!
