Lightbulb Bold and Beautiful....

These are simply great! I am enjoying this thread very much.

You certainly have alot of energy (wish I had some).

How long did it take you to do the "movie group". What kind of paint did you use? Regular wall paint, or acrylic artist types?

It must be hard to move and leave these behind.

I have been thinking of a mural of sorts too... to go over the fireplace at our summer home.


First photo:
The white space used to be bare cement. I sealed it with UGL sealer (which is white) a few years ago (oil based). I'd take down the old boat name and put it higher on the wood paneling above...
The sealer did help with the water leakage that sometimes comes in from the chimney.

second photo:
and do a scene like this one:
including a freighter doing upstream on the left. I wanted to do it last summer, but rather poohed out with fatigue.

It is a fairly rough surface, and I don't know if acrylic will hold on the base coat. Any suggestions? All would be appreciated.
