HAND PAINTED BY KEVIN ANDERSON

Today I was looking back at this mural I painted at the Veterans Village of San Diego. This is a section of the mural not quite finished. This  mural is painted in the Montage Style . The imagery is a very emotive and delicate subject to portray. The mural is about the current conflicts in the middle east, and the American people  that serve in the United States of America's Armed Forces. The colors are expressive of the desert conditions, tans pale yellows with a hint of pale blue sky at the upper area across the entire mural. The burnt orange hazy sunset with violet cool mist were used to capture the  respect, sadness, and honor this imagery evokes. This is one of two murals I have painted for The Veterans Village of San Diego. Both can be seen on my website artmurals.us   Or you can go to there and view this mural in person at 4141 Pacific Highway, San Diego, www.VVSD.net They are large murals approximately 20 feet high 30 to 40' wide. they are located in the dining area. This place is a sanctuary for the veterans who have served their country and lost their way in society. Miracles happen there!

• This is me painting a section of my mural in Honey's Bakery and Bistro in Encinitas Ca. The Mural is made up of some of my favorite images in Encinitas, blended together in the' Montage' technique and style , sharing a common background in light and color, creating a seamless flow. Joining the  imagery together in visual harmony, size, and size relationships are exaggerated, as well space and placement of familiar local scenes.  This mural is now completed and ready for viewing. Other  sections of the mural can be seen on my website home page. artmurals.us.                                                  

Today,  perfect weather for painting. Tomorrow to Del Mar, Dog Beach.
