'Blaze' Restaurant

Currently working on a design for a new restaurant in Bar Harbor, Maine. Brick oven and wood fired grill menu. 32 craft beers on tap !!. Modern minimal interior. Outdoor seating. Red, brown and black color palette. Concrete bar top poured in place. Polished concrete floor.

The mural is now 95% complete and will be clear coated with a water based clear flat acrylic finish to protect and preserve the color.

The almost completed 'Maine Jump' mural.

Nearing the end of the mural project [ about a week to go ] and have to say it's been a lot of fun and a learning experience too. Painting on this scale is a real challenge and knowing when to detail and when not to is a constant consideration. Painting a mural of this size using an 1/8 th inch watercolor brush for much of the work takes about as long as you'd think it would !....Images posted here show the Joshua Chamberlain statue and bridge in Bangor [ civil war general and Medal of Honor recipient and 32nd Governor of Maine] Paul Bunyan statue [ rather absurd mythical giant lumberjack], Stephen King's residence in Bangor, Quoddy Head lighthouse [ easternmost point of the U.S.A and only candy striped one in Maine ]......check back for final pics in a week !

Moving right along with the mural. First half almost completed

Due to delays with permitting and nit-picking by code enforcement in Bangor haven't worked on the mural for a week. From now on will be using Benjamin Moore Aura paint for all the work which will provide better coverage and reduce the need to second and third coat. New pics by the end of the week.

This is where we are now. Always buy the best paint !...it saves you money in the long run !!!....Stay tuned
