Shawn spent less than two weeks at a cabin in the Midwest. But, this wasn't just any old cabin. This is the most incredible cabin in the Midwest, located just outside of Tuscola, IL. Self-made millionare, Shane Stewart, owner and builder of the cabin, contacted artist, Shawn Ealy to put some final details on his already incredible 15,200 square foot home.
This is a view of the cabin from the back deck.
The house features many rooms, each one well thought through by Shane. The downstairs has a bar, a gathering and entertaining room, and even a movie theater. This house has 32 TVs, including the movie room. No, not 32 inch TVs. 32 flat screen TVs, ranging from 65" down to a few as small as 42".
The cabin also has an amazing pool room, with a 2,400 sq ft pool in a 3,200 sq ft room. The room also includes a water slide and a hot tub.
Shane's house has an oversized 3 car attached garage. Another detached garage has a full kitchen and is a great hang out area with all the comforts of a home and features that look like the interior of any house.
The attention to detail is incredible, with many handmade furniture items and clever ideas, like rope trim, that Shane came up with. Not to mention the massive tree that is stationed right inside the middle of the house.
Shane is a person that pays great attention to detail, which is why he commissioned artist, Shawn Ealy, to paint many items in the house, including this incredible mural. Shawn spent the last 2 weeks of January at the cabin, creating a flowing mural on 3 separate garage doors.
The first scene features 3 life-like wolves, standing on the snow-filled ground, among the trees. The steam coming from their breath displays how cold the temperature is, and the purple and blue shadows tell that the time of day is just around sunset on an overcast day.
Shane and Jody's girls had a blast running through the trees from the life-like wolves.
The next scene shows 2 large buffalo, one standing in the snow, and the other is laying down on the frozen ground. Again, the steam rolling from their noses indicates the frigid temperature, and the detail in the shadowing of their fur is extremely intricate.
Also, the shadowing in the geese, flying overhead, shows which ones are flying close by, and which ones are farther away.
The last scene ties it all together with more life-like wolves and geese flying overhead. In the background, Shawn airbrushed the Stewart cabin.
With many more ideas in mind, this will not be the last time Shawn will be seen at Shane Stewart's cabin. Keep checking to see what he will add to his collection next.
