Revitalizing of existing back yard fence mural

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.

Accent evergreen tree helps to mask the connection between boards

Lake in the foreground is much darker now

Water from the mill will appear to flow into the water reservoir
