    Greetings to best form on planet Earth!

    Hope everyone is doing well. Happy Valentines!

    I obtained this mural yesterday, it is called “desert garden” painted by artist Marion K Stephenson. Miss Marion lives in York, PA. Would you guys tell me what would be the best way to display this? Wood frame to stretch it? It’s very large, 7’x6.5’.

    Thanks. 9A688C91-42ED-44FC-8904-EB5AAFBB6BB2.jpeg

    Can we see it the way it is intended to be hung?

    You mention "stretch" - is it painted on canvas?

    A "mural is normally painted directly on a wall ( that's the origin of the word mural.)

    Yes, it is painted on canvas. Sorry I forgot to mention it in my post.

    Interesting that there are paint sample blocks along the bottom. Almost as if the intent was to reproduce in printed form. Thoughts?

    Do you intend to sell or display in your home?

    Don't take this the wrong way - looks like a very attractive restaurant piece. Very well done of course.

    Thanks. I as not sure how to call it. So I thought it’s a mural because of size. So it’s a painting?

    Thanks Bakersgma. We have a plan to close the patio at back of the house and this painting will be perfect for it. I’ll store the painting in my closet and wait for it. We talk about it for years, just never executed the idea

    Yes, it’s very cool that colors are listed like that. I did contact the artist but so far no reply. If she ever does I’ll share.
