Work on a mural on the front of Ella Apartments, 2860 E. Washington Ave., entered its third week on Sunday. Artists Bill Rebholz and Eddie Perrote expect to be done with the project on the site of the former Ella's Deli by Memorial Day Weekend. It will become the city's largest mural and was commissioned by New Year Investments, the developer of the 135-unit apartment building.

The Great Dane Pub & Brewing Co. opened in 1994 in what for decades had been the Fess Hotel. This sign recently appeared on the side of the building after an adjacent city parking garage was removed.
This is the first of three murals that have been installed by Dane Arts Mural Arts on the North Ingersoll Street side of the Madison Youth Arts Center.
One of Madison's most well known murals is found on the side of ABC for Health at the corner of North Bassett and West Mifflin streets. The mural was painted in 1987 when the building was home to the Mifflin Street Community Co-op.
Bill Rebholz pours yellow paint while working on his mural at Ella Apartments. He expects to use about 50 gallons of paint and 10 different colors.
With the left third side of the mural completed, work on Sunday was focused on the center section of the creation. The project is expected to be completed by Memorial Day Weekend.

With the brick facade already painted white, Bill Rebholz began adding gray primer on May 2 to the East Washington Avenue side of the Ella Apartments building.
Muralist Bill Rebholz created two dimensional renderings with grids to help guide him through the painting process. Rebholz also uses the windows as a roadmap when placing his images on the building's brick facade.
Near perfect weather greeted artists Bill Rebholz and Eddie Perrote on Sunday as they continued their four-week mural project at Ella Apartments.
