    "Ladybug By the Sea"
    Latex on exterior stucco walls
    approx. 9' X 14'
    ca. 1986

    Painted illusion of lattice, brick and plants.

    Two photos.
    The photo on the left shows how quickly the mind accepts the painted leaves as a continuation of the real leaves.
    The photo on the right is a close-up showing the broad theatrical strokes used with a deliberate disregard for realism. Visible on one of the leaves is the ladybug from which the mural derived its name.
