The Artist, Juan Bravo has an Art Gallery/bar/restaurant next across rom the Shell gas station when you first come down the hill into Jarabacoa. There are a number of different Artist's works displayed there ( many are very talented). I have no artistic talent but I know what I like and also a bit of knowledge through osmosis ( my first wife was an Artist and illustrator).

Nice painting! Can't wait to see pictures of the entire school.

Juan Bravo is going to do a couple more murals and we have twin boys in Grade nine (13 year olds) that are going to do some of the classroom interiors. That'll probably be it this year.

Yes indeed, must cheerier than a blank wall.
Perhaps provide a canvas for a few local artists.

I love it Bob, reminds me of the murals on buildings in Philadelphia, and parts of Brooklyn.

Tambo is right, invite some local artists to contribute their designs, it works in other cities around the world.

Well it's the entrance, so it demands something more dramatic. The classrooms will be more child centric - butterflies, rainbows....etc. The shape of the wall makes for a natural frame and we had a sketch beforehand but it certainly didn't do justice to the finished product.

We have a big wall surrounding the school that is divided by columns so yes that is an excellent suggestion.

Wow...fantastic....I wish more schools would do this..it would also help to teach children to appreciate and even practice the arts. Very inspiring

well, i meant that it looks like a patriotic painting and they are quite common. only that a normal school has some busted pictures of duarte and mariposas after facial burns and reconstructive surgery using papier mache and silly putty. in other words, damn fugly this mural is different in style and looks simply fantastic. good art. job well done.

Well , we had seen plenty of the artist's work and are personal friends so we let trusted him to give us something different but really nice. He does amazing nudes but those wouldn't have been appropriate.

Is that his work @ F.O.D.?

I love the painting, the colours are great.

Maybe some ideas from the kids, for the wall paintings. It could help promotes pride in the school.
