Size: 16' 8" H x 16' W
Date of Completion: June 1986
Mural Medium: Acrylic paint on panels
Columns and arches go back in time like the chambers of a nautilus shell.
Like the ancient sea creature, we expand and set forth to new cultures or
kingdoms, abandoning the previous ages as empty cavities of a shell.
UPDATE: This mural is looking for a new home! The current building is being
destroyed so Colonnade is being removed and is available for purchase.
Please contact us us if you're interested in making this splendid trompe l'oeil
an eye-arresting attraction to your business or public space. It's painted
on removable panels and will require an on-site installment.
