| sketch for silhouette mural: run spot run! |
I recently completed a deceptively simple silhouette mural, for a veterinary ophthalmology practice in San Francisco. This mural is designed for an angled, and very long hallway wall, with a bumpy uneven surface.

| the hallway before (L) , and with its new base color of blue |
For an assignment like this the two most important things are a good drawing, and the right color. The wall "before" was stark white, in an uneven 36 foot long sloping hallway. Just painting the wall a nice color of warm blue had a tremendous impact on this space.

| bulldog and horse see eye to eye! |
The client asked that the design feature a variety of animals, emphasize the importance of sight, as well as show interaction between the animals and their human companions.
Here are some more details:

| Kathy explaining derivatives to her hound |
 |
| the great butterfly hunt! |

| Finished mural as seen from the reception area |
Both the reception area and the hall now have a nice view!
You can see this mural in person at the office of Veterinary Vision in San Francisco.
You summed it up.....it IS all about color and design. I think you gave them much more than they expected! It reminds me of 40's children's book illustrations. Love it.
