Murals Inspired by Nature
Written by Jana Botkin This is the first post in a series by artist Jana Botkin; over the next few weeks join us for a behind the scenes look at her inspiration and process of some of the beautiful murals she has created. Mineral King has had an enormous influence on my art. When I started painting murals, I had to first practice painting larger in the medium I was used to. 24×36” was the largest oil painting I had ever attempted. Our home in Three Rivers had a collection of shabby buildings in need of facelifts, perfect for practicing.
