"Life is a Journey" mural for Rehab Cottage at Hillcrest Estates is finished!

We painted this over the last month or so and installed it yesterday.  The size is 11'x5'.  The physical therapists and patients are happy to have something interesting to break up their large blank walls.  I really got into painting the clouds.

Employee recognition mural

This oceanscape mural for New Cassel retirement home was painted in the employee lounge and includes an area where "walk the walk" nominations for extra good work that employees notice their peers doing.  The administrator said that she wanted to have employees "catch each other" when they do extraordinary service and have a monthly recognition for that.  Decorative nomination forms that go with the theme of the mural will be posted on the rock to the right.

We installed a military tribute mural, just in time for veteran's day

We started these two 8'x80' canvases in mid April.  They now are installed in the Grand Lodge Retirement Complex at 60th and Highway 370 in Omaha.  Rebecca Van Ornam and Richard Harrison did most of the painting but we had help from Anne and Liz Newman (a mother, daughter team), Hugo Zamarano, Mike Giron and Gerardo Vazquez.  There will soon be 5 glass shadow boxes 3'x4' in size displaying uniforms, metals and photos of some of the residents.  The murals were designed through discussions with residents who had served in the military.  We were mentioned in local newspapers in relation to this project.  I was really happy that all our measurements worked out!  The building will be completing construction in a month or two. I hope the residents will enjoy the mural.
