Patriot’s Colony


These murals were both gifts-slash-commissions for my Nana. She and Pop-pop moved into Patriot's Colony, a retirement community, and faced the challenge of making the new house really feel like home. These murals have really helped them lay claim to the place.

 

 

BEFORE & AFTER

Sorry, no 'before' pictures for these.

 

NANA & POP-POP'S HOME

crisp, clean, inviting

 

Hallway Garden


My mom and I dynamic duo-d this one and painted the whole thing together (she let me say I was in charge :) Whenever we go to visit, we'll add a bird or two to the scene. Also: My mom paints twice as fast as I do, it's ridiculous.

(see if you can name all of the laws of physics we wantonly blasphemed against!)

Size: 12' long x 10' high

NANA: Emily, would you like to paint a mural in my bathroom?

ME: Sure, what were you thinking of?

NANA: Oh, maybe some flowers. Or fish!

“Fish would be nice.”

  ME:  “How about ... one big fish?”


 

ME:  “and like... not really a fish.

 
 

oops, hello

 
 

All the other little old ladies are very jealous.
