You do some of the best mural work I've seen posted for sure. I am very impressed, you do the quality of work I would think every artist should be striving to learn, no matter their style or interest. I grew up with my mom doing portraits, so I know how much work goes into what you do. It is very hard to give any tips whithout seeing it in person, the depth-etc., but it looks wonderful. I do murals myself, specializing in children's rooms because it is fun and low stress. I am suffering from Thoracic Outlet syndrome now, (ironically from a wreck) and can't paint many hours at a time, but I feel I was born to paint and am itching to work again. To have this much work done I know you must be painting non stop, do you have employees lay down the basic colors for you? And do you have any tips for body mechanics,tools, etc. that allow you to work more comfortably. I will really appreciate your advice, if any. Thanks for sharing your gift.
