In the Great Texas Freeze of February 2021 water damage destroyed the lower half of an artist’s lovely jungle murals. The task was to restore the damaged areas. The “before” photos were of limited help. They also revealed color inconsistencies in the repair work which required a lot of improvisation. The hardest part was trying to match all the colors. I enlisted the help of another artist, Suzie Moritz.
The top row of images show samples of what needed to be repainted after the dry wall had been replaced. The row of African bugs at the very bottom were “Easter Eggs” we hid behind the doors so we could say that some of the art was our original work.
