Here is a mural for the Colorado Ballet Society that I was able to finish just in time before CO got it’s ‘safe -at-home’ orders. I’m very grateful for @coloradoballetsociety ( https://www.danceinthesprings.com ) giving me the opportunity to create this mural for their students and families. I have so much admiration for the practitioners of ballet-a beautiful and challenging art form. For the past few weeks from when I first began, I saw a lot of changes in our country via the news headlines that I’d catch on my phone. The building was empty due to social distancing (with the exception of some staff creating instructional videos.) Having this section of the building to myself, this mural scene was kind of a nice place for me to retreat to while the headlines were going all over the place. All the best to those in the front lines on this and those who are suffering with it. I hope I can share some of the positive light and peacefulness that I experienced when I was painting it. www.artisticgoldcc.com . . #muralsofinstagram #murals #wallmurals #handpainted #customdesignedmurals #artisticgoldcreativeconcepts #mbeenenga #artistsoninstagram #ballet #coloradoballetsociety #peacefulplace #hopeful (at Colorado Ballet Society) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-OSFWCnFsn/?igshid=yuw8c5664pl0

Here is the finished mural at the Edgewood Inn. The homeowner wanted an overcast day scene for his diorama over the inn’s living room area. I had a great time creating this piece, and collaborating on the vision with the owner. I even got to stay at the Inn and have to say it is a stunningly beautiful home. #edgewoodinn #edgewoodinncolorado #edgewoodinnwoodlandpark #coloradomurals #coloradomuralist #wallmurals #murals #handpaintedmurals #artisticgoldcreativeconcepts #artisticgold #mbeenenga #mbeenengaart #overcastday #cloudyskies #rockymountains #woodlandparkcolorado #sherwinwilliams www.artisticgoldcc.com (at Edgewood Inn) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8SqCRCH5_z/?igshid=1wk1lb703kq8v
