"ORIENTAL GARDEN"
"It was a plain, white wall...Nothing on this wall is real...including the stone or bamboo."
Oriental Garden painted on an exterior retaining wall. FOO DOGS were added that would "Guard the Entrance"...To the far left I cut and installed
a board with Chinese characters that say :One Picture is Worth a Thousand Words".
This was all painted in exterior acrylic paints with an under-coat of DRYLOK Masonry Waterproof sealer to inhibit minerals and water from penetrating the wall.
Wall preparation was critical on this job.
8 ft. x 16 ft. + side wall = 170 sq. ft.
