Hi Patrick,
Mural is painted on 1/2"MDO, benjamin moore interior latex and artist acrylics,
inside the community room of the Lodi Library.
The poplar wood frame was donated by a local custom woodworking company,
painted to match the darkest color I used in the mural.

That is a bit of artistic creativity, it is.

Glad to see you can still hold the xacto with all those broken knuckles.
Aho.
