The Mural Art of Eulojio Ortega

The Magnificent Mile on Michigan Avenue

The story behind this mural is that a grove of trees, visible from Katy freeway, sadly had to be cut down in order to build The Fountains - an apartment complex in Houston, TX. The developer wanted to bring back some of the lost beauty that was once so visible to all, and so I was hired, all the way from Chicago, Il., to paint this enormous forest mural. It's a bit too successful I think, in that many drivers -as they speed by, just glimpse some trees without actually processing that they just saw a massive work of art. Two buildings, totaling 550 ft in length and 60 ft in height (nearly two football fields). Still my largest mural to date.
