## Community Q&A

**Q: Wow, I love the Red Art!** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where did you find such a realistic Afro-American painting?

A: Hi! It's actually East Indian, and we're not sure - it's part of the clients' private art collection.

**Q: Love the walls** *(in Photo Questions)*

What material are the walls? is it a material/concrete that can be put on to an existing wall?

A: Thank you! The two side walls are poured concrete, 12" thick. The fireplace was built from concrete block and has a coating of American Clay on it, not sure about the color. http://www.americanclay.com
