TROPICAL PARADISE MURAL - #MURALIST CAROLEE MERRILL
I painted this mural for my client in Palm Desert. It was during the summer, and the temperature was between 100 and 110 degrees every day- and I had to share an outhouse with 10 other contractors! It was quite an accomplishment.

“Carolee painted two incredible murals for my restaurant and home – a 16’ x 66’ mural for me at my home in Rancho Mirage and a 9’ x 75’ mural in my restaurant, ‘The Jetty,’ in Palm Desert. In my living room and restaurant one feels transported to a tropical paradise. Both my home and restaurant were under construction when she painted the murals, so the conditions she worked under were very arduous. Many of the days it was 105-110 degrees with 20 workmen running saws and creating dust. In the midst of all this she created two lovely murals. Carolee was not only responsible and focused but also fun and humorous!” -Brad H., Palm Desert
