Bird Memorial Mural
In my own tribute to the egrets and wildlife in the marshes that are being affected by what is going on in the Gulf with the BP oil spill. Here’s a wonderful bird and wildlife mural in Portland Oregon that happened to be finished Memorial Day last year (from Danp.wordpress.com). These scenes are painted on exterior walls of the Wilhelm Portland Memorial Mausoleum in the Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge. This is kind of an odd building on which to paint and to find art but it does help to beautify it and certainly fits with it’s surroundings. It is the largest hand painted mural in the US. I really like the way this was constructed with multiple views & angles. The murals were painted by Art FX :
These photos are so heartwrenching:

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
