Murals for the Country

Toronto Muralists were tasked with getting a hand painted sign on the exterior of a real estate agents office. This was located north of Toronto . We projected the letters at night, and traced the letters out on the wall. The next day we painted the letters. We had a crew of three and that came in handy, because right before we were done the weather got a funny idea to start to get dark. Dark skies and paint don’t mix. Fortunately the team got together and dug in their heels and took care of business.
The letter we put on the wall was “Country Living” one of the members of the business also has a tv show called love it or list it. It is on the W network and it is a show about renovate your home then decide whether or not you still want to live in it or are you going to sell it.
Its great working for celebrity, what do they say you have to shoot for the stars well I guess were hitting our mark.
