Sometimes art is as much about return as it is about arrival—returning to a wall, to a place, to a vision that outlasts the season. These murals remind me that no journey is ever truly finished; we repaint, we renew, and the road stretches on.

Where Classic Cars Meet Sunset Skies
On this wall in Crystal Beach, stories cruise by in candy-apple red, sky-blue, and lemon yellow—each car a memory, each palm a waving witness. This mural was my first solo commission as a
self-employed artist, a sunlit stretch of Florida highway for Olsen’s Auto Care, which was first named Giocomelli's Auto Repair.
Painted first in the mid ‘90s, refreshed fifteen years later, the mural has grown and changed, just as I have, its colors weathered by time but never dimmed by it. I changed the pickup to a vintage red classic, updated every line, yet left the spirit of Crystal Beach.
Here, under the endless cloudy sky, the cars never age. Locals and travelers pass by, some for a car repair, some for a glance, all part of the mural’s living legacy. I hope these wheels keep rolling, on the wall, and in memory, for years to come.
