[QUOTE="donna723, post: 402608, member: 1883"] Terry, you did an awesome job on the mural! It's wonderful! I never knew what they called that style of painting but it's fascinating. A lot of examples can be found on the link that Suz posted. There's a whole building painted like that in St. Louis but I have no idea where it is because I only saw it from a commuter train but it's just mind boggling! It's five or 6 stories high and when you look at it as you go past, it looks like a big old fashioned brick apartment building with wonderful architectural details. The windows are gorgeous and each floor has four or five balconies with ornate iron railings, beautiful furniture, and all kinds of plants and flower boxes overflowing with colorful flowers! At least that's what it looks like from the FRONT (actually I think that's the back of the building). But as you go past it and see it from the side, when you see it from the right angle, you can tell that the whole wall is completely flat and smooth ... not even a window in it! Every bit of it is [I]painted[/I] on the side of the building! [/QUOTE]
