Well it's not reef related, but you can smell the salt air. LOL!
Just finished this at a friends house after about a month of after work sessions.
It's a present for his wife when she gets home from back east.

Fantastic! The integration of the real foliage on the borders looks so natural, it really gives the whole mural more life.

The planter box in the front even looks like another isle. Well done!

Thanks all for the kind words. It's my first attempt at a mural and by far my largest piece at 6'X25' . I'm used to 2x3 canvas at biggest.
Muck, I used exterior grade acrylic and once baked on for a week will be coated with protective varnish.

Thank you all again. I'm a bit blown away by the reviews. I expected a couple "not bads".

One of us is suffering from too much sleep deprivation. I've read this a few times over and I don't have any idea what it means. I understand each word on its own, but not in the order they're in... :redface:
