Here are some close ups and fun shots of the final mural! Thanks to @carolmcquaidart, @shereejonesfineart and @elleryart for planning it all out at the beginning and beyond. And to @billaultmorgane for the final design and concept! Everyone worked really hard and we are all thrilled with the final piece! We are thankful that the @adbiawv gave us the opportunity and happy to have been a part of the @harmonyarts Festival in West Van. Here it is, "Sweet Harmony", located on the side of @inncogneatobistro on 14th Street. Thank you for letting us paint on your wall 💙😁💜
#13feetofftheground killing it at our 3rd talk since we've been back from Sicily. Thanks to @ferrybuildinggallery for having us! Such a busy and festive weekend in West Van for @harmonyarts Festival. Thanks to those who came out. Hope you enjoyed the slide show and video, too. Really makes us realize how far we've come since our very first meeting... Oh and check it out, NEW SHIRTS!
What am exciting weekend!! Here we have #13feetofftheground during the opening reception of the Harmony Arts Exhibition at the Silk Purse Arts Centre.

More from yesterday! Some satisfying tape removal and some sneaky trouble makers hiding behind a tree. The mural is almost done... Good luck to today's team! We're nearing the finish line!
Back to work, with a new team to do the next phase of painting! The breeze was a nice treat and each artist received flowers from a local shop around the corner! What a fun day! Only a couple days left to see us in action!
Haha. Our #13feetofftheground momma, @joannehastie came by to see us paint over the weekend and didn't realize it was our day off. Sorry! Joanne's been busy working on some of her own exciting projects this summer. Looking forward to seeing all the new things she's been doing!

The taping and line work team giving the mural some shape and precision. Loving how these colours look in the day light! Can't wait to see how this all comes together! The @harmonyarts festival is just a week away! Go team!
Here is the projection team working hard on getting the image on the wall! These night owls had difficulties with seeing the image because of all the light surrounding the area. They did a great job regardless... And the moon was so beautiful that night. Great job team!!
Guess who's painting a #mural?? Things are underway and #13feetofftheground is happy to say we are working on our next group mural located on 14th next to Inn Cogneato Bistro in #WestVancouver. The mural will be finished just in time for @harmonyarts Festival happening Aug 3-12. Please check our website for more info. We are also doing another talk about our residency in Sicily and the murals we painted there. Stay tuned for more updates on the mural!! It's GO time!
