This wall gets intense sun exposure, and the clients and I were concerned about fading. So I used paints from a German company called Keim; their pigments are mineral-based, and have been in use for about 120 years. They are formulated for stone, stucco, brick, etc., and the palette is limited, but very good for this application.

This is how the poppy wall fits into the yard. We hope to add another mural on the large wall to the right, but other projects need to come first.

This active, colorful, impressionistic poppy mural decorates the wall that hides the poolside mechanicals.
