"Lean on me" recently completed mural as part of the Tulip City Walls Mural Fest final edition.
The portraits depict two people leaning on each other, designed to remind the community to support each other. We all have moments of vulnerability as well as the chances to show compassion or understanding.
Sisters, teammates, friends, community — no matter how busy our lives become, we are all still part of something bigger.
This mural captures the connection between Holland, Michigan and The Netherlands by by depicting the tulips and windmill, and many smaller details more visible in person due to the scale of the wall.
Painting began midday on the Monday and completed it by Saturday.
Sincere thanks to Lori and Chris as well as the Tulip City Walls Mural Fest family and the team 3Sixty for the invitation to be part of this fantastically coordinated festival! To the families and homes that welcomed us in with open arms, you are amazing!
This hospitality and an amazing group of artists, made this a truly memorable painting and trip for all three of us at Studio Zepa. Miss you and we hope to see you soon! Thank you!
Thanks to Dusty Rose Photography for the action shots!
