New Garden Mural in Minneapolis

 


During the most perfect, gorgeous, fall Harvest Supermoon weekend, I painted a little garden/garage mural in Minneapolis! I had a blast painting under a big tree full of birds and squirrels. 
(I use the Merlin Bird Identifying App to identify the bird sounds - it so fun and it's free. Get it!)

A video from my Instagram

Projecting the design onto the wall at dusk the evening before painting.

New "Make Believe" Mural at EIHC in Cedar Rapids, IA

In August I completed another large mural- at the Eastern Iowa Health Center's new Pediatrics building in Cedar Rapids, IA! 

"Artist Jennifer Davis paints a mural Aug. 11 on the front wall of the Eastern Iowa Health Center’s pediatrics clinic in southeast Cedar Rapids. The center, a federally qualified health center serving Eastern Iowa, has seen significant growth in recent years — and sees more potential to serve the community. (Jim Slosiarek/The Gazette)"

A video of the making of the mural!

Work in progress

I LOVE PAINTING UP ON A LIFT!!!



Thank you to my sponsors David Meier and Matt McGraine (This is their dog Buddy checking out the finished mural.) AND Thank you to Murals & More for logistic support.
Thank you to Brad Senne for help with ALL OF IT!

Oh- and here's a video of some mural mishaps ;o)

3 New Murals

Brand new garage mural, "Meeting Place"

I had a great time painting a garage mural in Falcon Heights, MN (with the help of my lovely assistant, Brad!) Some details:


AND THEN- I got to travel to Manitou Springs, CO to paint some mural panels for the Creekwalk Trail in the back of the adorable Chamber of Commerce/Visitors Bureau/Office of Economic Development Building.

These are 8' tall- and the photos were taken in the dark because the mural coating caused a glare with the lights on- LOL. I hope to get better photos when these are installed outside.

The design sketches.

My friend Amy Crickenberger Oeth joined me for the assist! Her grandma had a shop in Manitou Springs (Manitou Mocassins) so she spent a lot of time there over the years. I had a blast touring all of her favorite spots. Thank you, CRANE (Creative Alliance Manitou Springs) and Visit Manitou Springs for hosting us!  


Lots more photos of the painting process over on my Instagram page!

Saaaaaaay, do YOU need a garage mural? 
Or a mural to help put your business on the map?

New Metro Transit Mural in Minneapolis, MN

 

I've recently complete four new murals on the sides of a 6x8' Metro Transit Light Rail Train utility box in the Prospect Park neighborhood of Minneapolis, MN! (map)

Each side has a different painting: Rabbits, Moths, Birds, and Flowers!

A video of the site/process from my Instagram

Concept Sketch for the Birds


Concept sketch for Rabbits

The box is right by "UNITED CRUSHERS"- and you can see it from the backyard of the 
Malcolm Yards Food Hall (across the UofMN Transitway.)

I can't believe they let me paint these big ol' weird rabbits?!?! Thank you, MetroTransit!!!

Moths concept sketch


Moths in progress

Flowers concept sketch

I had to freehand this one as there is a big, beautiful dahlia garden next to the box- no room for my projector set up.

My beautiful painting location next to the Dahlia flower plot at Bridal Veil Gardens
