| The ADPRO mural -detail This mural was done for a company in Solon, Ohio. They had just moved into their beautiful new building and had good walls for art. The mural was painted on one of them. It is a nature scene filled with the wildlife you would see in Ohio -deer, foxes, owls, racoons, geese, ducks, cardinals and other birds (at least one of each). In front of the mural were some benches, a swing seat and a table to casually meet with clients. The setting was very lovely and peaceful. Having said thus, the entire mural could have been better. It is not bad a bad painting but not up to snuff for an artist of John's calibre. It had nothing to do with pricing. Unfortunately this was done through a middleman -a lady in this case named Claudia Vitulich, who had absolutely no artistic skills when it came to murals -and art in general. But she thought she did. So, she imposed a set of restrictions on John including the colour. Had John been able to meet with the client and discuss the mural, he would have produced a far better piece. But the deal was already set and so, under such restrictions, John did his best. He didn't like the painting but he liked the client and managed to please him. The middle-lady did best by staying away during the entire painting period. The mural was completed in about a month and during the grand opening celebration everyone loved it. The middle-lady was very happy and all that needed to be done was for her to finish paying off the final instalment in the contract (she was paid in full by the client). Well, Miss Vitulich forgot to pay and now can not show her face in many reputable art circles since Mr. James Levin, John's friend and attorney, is looking for her. Now, was that a smart thing to do? |
