A Mural: 1840 Bluff Street Architecture
Acrylic on concrete, 20 feet high x 70 feet wide (6 x 21 meters), located on Jefferson Street in Joliet, Illinois.
This is one of the early historical murals we did in Joliet. The buildings depicted no longer exist. You can get an idea of the size by checking out the man walking on the right.
Many of the older buildings were built out of limestone; it is a pretty yellow stone and the quarries where it was mined in the area later became swimming holes.
Here are a couple of close-ups:

Wow! I've never known anybody doing murals! I always saw them appear all of the sudden. Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you @delishtreats, so glad you like it. It was on one of the main streets of the town and took months to do, so the locals got to see it take shape.
Looks like a big project. I love how you did it! :)
What a gorgeous artwork! You've got some skills, Kathleen!
