Murals for the Co-op

[Kevin Gallagher]

Hi Guys Sorry I have been gone for so long, Hope you like these are Murals I painted in a local store that were having a celebration, it is a local co-op that was started in 1906 the portrait of the man in the cap is the man who started it way back then, so it is a tribute to him Paddy the Cope Gallagher I promise to look in more often now things are getting back to normal. I done a basic outline first but after that it was all freehand, love working freehand, used sepia colour to give the old faded photo effect, Manager of the Co-op was really blown away, the whole town was very impressed infact.

[Kevin Gallagher]

Thanks very much, I did enjoy working on these, Getting to work freely like this is great, the people left it up to my artistic knowledge to do what I felt right. Thank you again.

[AndyW]

Agree with Denise Kevin, you definately pulled off what was right.

Awesome Work Kevin .

[Kevin Gallagher]

Beautiful work Kevin, I love the freehand work you do, these are so soft and natural. I am not surprised that the whole two liked them. Stunning!

HI Gordon, Forgot to mention I used the Grex Grip while doing these, It Helps alot to keep from getting cramp, Although there are two sharp points that dig into your pam dont know the porpose of them, apart from that they work great, each Mural took about one and a half to two hours to complete, so it hteld up very well indeed. Cheers gordon

Hey Skids thanks very much, I am not related to this Gallagher, There are hundreds of Gallagher's here, This Mural will probably be gone soon, as the post office will be moving in, such a shame, hopfully the post office will try to keep it in some way.

Cheers

[Norm]

You mean it will be gone soon? How soon? Couldn't you cut the drywall out and replace it? Seems a shame after all the work you put into it.

[Kevin Gallagher]

Not sure when, I think they may want to keep them as they will suite the post office, will wait and see, fingers crossed, the post office get alot of custoomers that will see my work.
