The Mission of A Midsummer's Mural is to appreciate beauty, respond to beauty with quality art and craftsmanship, and bring wholeness and renewal to others through that response.
We believe that quality art requires a spirit of openness and discovery.
We believe that quality craftsmanship is having high character and high competence.
We begin by listening to what you are thinking about.
Then our goal is to create a sketch or sample that can show what you were thinking perhaps even more clearly than you were envisioning it. Above are some of the projects and some of the presentations that were made in discussing them. Often a quick watercolor sketch is done in the initial meeting or within a day or two of our discussion when research is required. If the sketch or sample gets a negative response I consider that as much a success as if it gets a positive one. "Failure is an opportunity to begin again with better knowledge" Henry Ford said. Once the sketch is done we go forward with a commitment to produce the same satisfaction in the final results. Suggestions are encouraged and most times there are no additional costs to changes requested. The journey is as important as the destination.
We believe that quality craftsmanship is having high character and high competence.
Because we have a good sketch or sample to start we know where we're going. We operate with written contracts under the Better Business Bureau's guidelines. We are insured for any damages that might accidentally occur.
