Bow-Edison, WA
2019
I spent 3 days in Bow, WA painting a mural on the side of this 60ft horse barn located at 15694 Field Rd., Bow, WA.
I had total artistic freedom, although I was told by the lovely owners of the property that the mural should be bright and happy!

Day 1
The wood slats had old, peeling paint that had to be scraped and primed.
The budget was extremely small, so I picked up gallons of random returned paint from some hardware stores. (Oops paint!)

Day 2
Bow has rich ties to agriculture and is full of wide open flat spaces. I used geometric shapes for the background of the running horses to mirror how the landscape is partitioned into different crops.

Day 3
The colors used are inspired by the shifting light reflected in the sky and fields. The wide expanses of flat farmland in the region glow brightly with the changing light.
