As word of Shane Grammer’s first mural spread, he was inundated
with requests to create more artwork. One came from a man who
wanted Grammer to paint on a wall only about 4 feet tall and 16
feet wide — a less-than-ideal canvas for a muralist. Grammer says
he prayed for inspiration. “I fell asleep, woke up the next morning, I
turned over in bed, there’s my beautiful wife, just laying there,” he
says. “Oh my gosh, that’s my low rectangular shot. I quietly got my
phone and — snap. I took a picture and, OK, that’s what’s going on
the wall.”
