I painted Angelina Jolie's patio!

Angelina Jolie purchased the Cecil B. DeMille estate recently...and it occurred to me, "hey, I know that place!"  Back in the 80's when I lived in LA a friend asked me to help him paint murals on the patio of the estate. At the time, the home was being prepared for a designer showcase. (Each room was to be decked out by a different designer.) Parking was dreadful and security tight! But friend and I managed to paint lovely art nouveau designs in assigned areas...  I had hoped to see the inside of the home, but was denied entrance. True story, lol. :)

  4. There were some pictures of the house interiors and grounds floating around the internet recently. It would be fun to see if the mural is pictured, and still intact. It sure is pretty and adds so much to the entry.

  5. I have always had utmost respect for Angelina Jolie! She has such a humanistic heart, and has not only given her many adorable kids a loving life, but has also showed much benevolence for people in need across the globe. I am so happy to hear that she must also be enchanted with art, and hired YOU and your friend to paint murals in her new estate. May your gorgeous designs uplift her, and all who walk through her estate.
