CELEBRATING DOWNTOWN
DOWNTOWN MURAL
Dallas-Fort Worth artist Kyle Wadsworth was commissioned by MDBA and 4B to paint a 16-by-35-foot mural in downtown Midlothian. He said the mural in Midlothian is one of a couple of his most challenging, along with the Dr. Delphinium art.
“Recreating the look of an old sepia tone photograph was tough. It has soft edges and the details only make sense when you back away from the wall. I was constantly backing away to see what I was painting,” he said.
“I am very excited about the new mural in downtown (Midlothian). Kyle did a fantastic job,” said Stephen Hidlebaugh of Leasing Impressions, the company that commissioned the project. “Not only is it a great art piece, it also evokes the history of Midlothian from the early 20th century. It’s a real compliment to the city and I hope it will be a catalyst for more works of art in town.”
