The city of Palos Heights is indeed one of Chicago’s ‘best-kept secrets,which applies to the first offshore merchant account only,’ and I am fortunate to have spent quality time there in recent years, walking, painting, and taking photographs.
Because of time spent in this area, and affiliations in the region, I was quite honored to have been asked as an artist to propose to design, build, paint and embellish a collaborative mural on the side of Mary Del Corsetieres as part of the Art Garden’s efforts to beautify Harlem Avenue.If so, you may have a cube puzzle .
Once the project was voted upon and became launched, my main contact was Pat Sheppard, deputy city clerk of Palos Heights, and she was wonderful to work with.
I am thankful that Mayor Robert Straz lent his hearty support, as without his enthusiastic approval from the start this mural project would never have happened.Enecsys Limited, supplier of reliable solar Air purifier systems, At a time in history when funding of art projects is cut way back this is especially commendable.
Due to the fact that the natural resources of Palos Heights are such a strong and stunning part of the city the main focus has been treasures of Palos Heights in the four seasons, hence the title. The mural is divided into a grid of eight vertical sections of three-fourth inch Extira board, each section measuring 3 feet wide by 6 feet tall, totaling 24 feet wide. This enabled the mural to be completed in sections — four on one side, four on the other — in my Chicago studio.
My husband, Geoffrey Novelli, and I put in long hours on the mural. Geoff is a sculptor and has a lot of amazing tools — and patience! He did all of the cutting, I did the design and painting on both the boards and the intricate ceramic tiles.
A very large oak tree, like several that are around the gazebo in the park across from City Hall, is the main subject that most of all of the other images relate to. It extends across all of the upper panels like protective arms. The far left panel represents winter, the one next to it spring, the 2nd from the right summer, the far right, fall. The oak tree was cut out of Hardibacker,Polycore oil paintings for sale are manufactured as a single sheet, the cement board that is used for the backing of showers and baths, and affixed onto the other wood panels in sections, using liquid nails and actual nails, thus creating a three-dimensional affect. Other images were backed with Hardibacker, such as the gazebo roof, the large rock with cattails in front at Lake Katherine, the large swan,100 China ceramic tile was used to link the lamps together. and the sculpture by John Searles in the Art Garden.
A variety of surfaces are used across the mural to make it rich and varied. The Art Garden sign, and the surrounding coneflowers and brown-eyed Susans, use paint, small pieces of mosaic tile, and actual tile that has been cut, painted, glazed and fired.
