The Gresh Family Murals

The Gresh’s asked for a family tree to go up their stair way wall. They have photos for four generations that they would like to hang on the tree limbs. They also live in a very beautiful rural setting surrounded by forest and therefore are very much in tune with nature. For the second mural they want a scene on a wall that forms a background for their bird perch.
