1st post! 5 years ago I fixed up this bathroom in our 1950’s house with just paint and small upgrades. It’s a personal tribute to Alexander Girard mixed with my own interpretation of some of his artwork. Yesterday I painted a bird based on his Braniff logo design. I dig the reflection on the mirror.
