mural using clay plasters and clay paint made from soil collected around Houston TX

I thought this was beautiful.....mud mural at Rice Gallery Looks like it could open all sorts of possibilities for interior/exterior wall art at home

Working day and night with a team of assistants, the Japanese artist, who is known for his “earth paintings” made from locally sourced mud and dirt, spent just under 2 weeks covering the walls and floors of the gallery with soil collected in Houston. “There are so many kinds of soil in Houston and Texas,” says Asai. “Initially I had hoped for 10 different shades, and ended up with 27: the widest spectrum of colors representing a specific place that I have ever used.”

...one more for scale

Wow!
Dirt is so amazing.  The different colours and textures.

And even more marvelous, the ability to think  up such pretty patterns.  

Seeing this made my day.  Thank you!
