It was such a joy to work on this mural in Downtown Woodstock. The mural is at the entrance of the Downtown Woodstock playground. This magical woodland playground enables free play. There is music making, building materials, rock scrambles, tunnels and a huge climbing structure. It’s all set into a stand of trees. I can appreciate this playground both as a mom and a creative. The colors are so natural and there is shade. (Can I get an AMEN!) I love that the table are kid sized - it’s obvious that this play space is made for kids to play with kids. There is adult sized seating on the edges and the playground has pretty great visibility - something you look out for when you have more than one kiddo to mind.

The mural was designed by Dusty Beaulieu. It includes a quote from Magda Gerber and icons that reflect Elm Street’s many creative programs. Theater, music, and art are all represented in playful illustrations. The mural was painted in white over a natural concrete texture. We wanted to keep with the natural tone of the playground, so instead of painting the quote in over a white background, we painted around the quote letting the concrete shine through.

We really enjoyed this project and the chance to pick up our paint brushes and get outside. I love any opportunity to take our work out from behind a computer. Our business allows us to both design and bring our work to life.

We would love to do more mural and sign painting work, so hit us up if you have a project in mind! Till then, see ya on the playground!
