World Cup Murals
This past weekend was the final round of World Cup games and to learn who wins the championship.
Like so many others, I’ve enjoyed watching all the games.
I’m disappointed that USA lost but they’ve all been so good to watch — except the last Brazilian defeat — heartbreaking.
The murals found in Brazil focus on what futbal means to this country.
They express mixed emotions for how much money has been poured into Brazil hosting the games when their people are so impoverished
and the burden it has been on the players to represent and please their nation.
Despite any political controversy and corruption in Brazil, soccer lifts the people’s spirits and does make the world seem more universally connected.

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.
