Back in the Winter of 2022 our daughter Jen was exploring different art ideas. She sent for a tile from The Mural Mosaic Global Roots Project in the Midwest Region.
1500 people painted tiles. As I recall she was asked to paint something mostly blue the color of the sky.
Her tile arrived the same day that her Aunt Jan (Far Guy's sister) died on April 21, 2022.
Jen painted what was heavy on her mind that day.
The mural was unveiled in Port Washington Wisconsin in April of 2023. Jen and Andy visited the mural yesterday.
Here is a link to a photo of the entire mural.
Isn't it wonderful what artists can create together!

So glad Jen participated. Made a sad day memorable in a good way. :)
What an amazing mural! Brought tears to my eyes to see the different tiles that were painted by people.
Wow! This mural is really beautiful! Thank you for sharing and sorry for your loss.
Holy cow, that is beautiful! And to know that Jen was part of that project is very cool.
I saw something about that mural and thought, that would be fun to participate in. But you know … STUFF! Your daughter’s contribution is sweet.
I’m having trouble commenting on about half the blogs I frequent. Hoping this goes through.
Wow, that is beautiful. What a great idea. thanks for sharing what your daughter did and the final results. Linda
I went to the link. It is fascinating. I had no clue that this project existed. They have created murals of beauty in many, many places. That is exciting to be a part of that creation.
That really is a wonderful group art project. How special that she could be a small part of it.
What a fabulous mural! It’s interesting how the individual tiles make such a beautiful piece.
Oh my, what an amazing project they created! This is just stunning.
And what a meaningful tile, too. Just lovely.
WOW! Beautiful and amazing!
Tile #1151 Really cool!
This is an amazing art project.
WOW, WOW, and then some!!! That's beautiful and so unique. All those creative souls working together like that. Very impressive. Also, my belated condolences.
Jen is so talented! She made a beautiful tile and the entire mural is truly amazing! Great picture of Jen too! It would be neat if they sold posters of that mural or wallpaper! It is beautiful.
A very impressive mural.
Very cool!
The entire mural is stunningly beautiful, and your daughter's contribution is heartwarming.
What an interesting project. All of those different tiles, planned just by requesting a predominant color. It worked and turned into a masterpiece!
very nice!
The tile is beautiful.
Wow I love that mural.....that is gorgeous. and I love Jen's contribution to it too. What a wonderful project that was.
Beautiful on many levels. Jen is very talented.
What a cool idea. Thanks for sharing. Hadn't heard of the project. Kudos to your daughter for participating.
What a beautiful project! And...I can tell how heavy her heart was in the photo. But...Port Washington is a lovely city on Lake Michigan where I spent a good deal of time visiting my maternal grandmother - whose looks/stature I seem to have inherited. Jen's tile is beautiful.
Found it! Absolutely wonderful in so many was.
It is a great creation. Your daughter's tile is so special.
Of course I did look and find her tile. I thought I had to just at least try.
I LOVE THIS!! That is an amazing mural! So many artists coming together to create such a wonderful piece of art! I found her tile, wasn't hard. I will have to show this project to my son. He has entered mural contests in recent years, but they were nothing as grand as this!
Her tile is beautiful, well done! What a great idea!
Beautiful!
