This mural began with two brand new plain closet doors! It is painted in Trompe L’oeil style to look like a real bank of lockers just jam packed with sporting equipment. I had a ball doing these doors (pun intended!!)\u00a0 The client and I collected all sorts of sports paraphernalia to use as models.\u00a0 We added in anything we could think of!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Who’d ever have thought painting smelly old sneakers could be such a great idea?\u00a0 Did all of you UConn fans notice the ‘old’ Husky sticker peeling off? Even the masking tape names and the door handles are painted on.\u00a0 I have included a photo of one of the doors ajar, just to help you understand the illusion.\u00a0 To open the closet however, one pulls on real combination locks and a real golf ball which were added after the doors were hung.\u00a0 I am particularly proud and fond of this project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
