When I first
painted this scene on plywood sheets mounted on a backyard fence ten years ago,
I had little previous experience with outdoor murals. The image
faded through the seasons due to the ill-suited paint products I used. Now, I am repainting the original image with media suited for outdoor
conditions, in the process adding more color and contrast.
