Thanks Sharon.
I worked as a graphic designer in another life..."pre-computer age" that is. I felt my background in graphics really infuenced the way I organized the layout of the mural along with all the hand lettering we used to do before computers. I also took into consideration the personality of my client and the decor of the home.

Wow, Cynthia, this is extremely impressive. I am stupified by the thought of how much time, energy, planning and discipline this must have taken. I think it is wonderful how you tied everything together and overlapped the portraits of the various Pirates. Congratulations on a job well done!
Like Michele, I'd like to hear more about your role as a mural artist.

Michele and Alex, Thank you so much for your comments and your interest in my work. I am currently working on a new mural project that is 14 feet wide and 8 feet high. This mural will also contain portraits so perhaps I could even post it as a work in progress. I just got home from the studio and it is a bit late but I will definitely get back to you in the next few days to share with you more about my work . It has been a very challenging and exciting journey that has opened up a lot of doors for me.

Masterful! Can you show us an even more detailed view of the portraits?
And I agree with Sharon, the lettering is elegant.
