The Calistoga at 2012 Street of Dreams, West Linn, OR


The idea of having an exterior mural at this site developed while I was in the process of designing the landscape.  At the points where the lower and upper retaining walls meet, creating a wedge is aligning with the center line of a large window in dining room.  A picture large enough to be seen from interior immediately came to mind.  

It was a fun project with lots of light and imaginary shapes and shadows.  As your eyes move from the top to bottom, the perspective changes from a bird view to almost hovering above the meandering pathway in the foreground.

Janet and I really enjoyed working on this 4x8 panel

The presentation board below represents the overall landscape design theme of this beautiful site at this Street of Dreams. I have the privilege to be working on this project with a team of very talented individuals at GRO Outdoor Living. The fountain by Garret Hergert is truly spectacular. If you can, go see it for yourself!
