Hi Lloyd.
I was renovating this garage/workshop that faces the main street of Sointula, BC. The garage door that faced the road was always awkward to drive in and out of so I moved it around to the side. This left a blank wall facing the street. I asked the owners if I could do something artsy on this blank wall. It has now faded to grey but still catches the eye.
Thanks,
Robbie Boyes

I come back here now and then, Just to Make my Heart Smile…
not only is it WOW. Magnificent.
it is fun.
Did you make the pattern up yourself, or did you copy it from one laid out, or one in “some book”?
Amazing talent, either way.
