One side finished. North facing.

Possible addition to the center of the east facing wall. See the blank spot?
Jesus and Eduardo have been working here for about 2 1/2 months now and have worked wonders. They’ve finished with the house, but I took a few photos yesterday and today as they worked on the studio. What next???
That looks good Judy. Did you supply the templates or ideas or did you give them free rein to transform your house?

I made a six foot long strip of paper with all the designs I wanted them to use. Then they measured off and hand drew the designs, then painted them. The colors were derived from a mural Jesus painted over my bedroom door (outside) ten years ago. I love how it softens the brighter colors of the house.
I’m like someone who gets addicted to tattoos. I just keep having them add more!!

It does look good and I can see the addiction. Knowing when to stop is the hard part đŸ˜€

Beautiful! It looks like Eduardo is painting free hand or do they use stencils for some of it?

They draw the designs free hand on the wall and then paint them. I found the Aztec designs in books and online and decided which ones I wanted . They are doing a wonderful job.

Yes.. they have two more sides of the studio to do. They’ve already done all around the house, the garage door, around entrance door and two sides of the studio. Soon they’ll be done!!!

It looks great. I’m curious, though, about what that contraption is on your studio roof.

Solar hot water heater. Ugly, huh? I can’t even cover it up.
I was going to say missile-tracking equipment but thought nah….

Can you put a picket fence around it and paint that blue to disguise the contraption?

It’s there specifically because nothing casts a shadow on it. It’s my solar hot water heater!

“Contraption.” Is that in the same genre as “finny little outfit?

hey Judy, place is looking great with the new additions. Lucky you to have these talented artists creating. Bill suggests adding height to your wall around your property will give Jesus plenty of mural space. love to you from sharon and bill

I am offering to paint my neighbor’s garage wall that faces my property. Jesus is dying to paint a mural on it but my generosity doesn’t go that far. For 19 years I’ve been staring at that ugly wall. No one in Mexico thinks they need to paint the side of their house facing their neighbors. I beg to differ…I am doing a wall on that property, but the first estimate came in so high that I am considering other options.

Looks fantastic, very much in tune with the exterior of the house.
