Detail of mural design

Artist Dakota Warren has designed a mixed media mural that depicts a euphoric ocean scene. The wave imagery will be painted on a color-stained concrete top coat. Flying fish and dolphins, made of powder coated aluminum, will be mounted on the surface and ceramic tile and mirrored glass will embellish the spaces between bricks. The mural will be located on the masonry wall facing the pool. The project is scheduled to be complete in June 2008.
