Completion Celebration

Published by at 6:55 pm under Events,Mineral King,Murals

Wow, that was a great turnout last night! Thank you for coming! Those who came heard that there are 12 hidden things but only were shown 4 of them. They also learned of the 2 dumbest questions and the 3 most annoying comments. I could have gone on about the mural for 3 hours, but it was kind of hot out and the food would have run short before I got any. (no starving for this artist!) Wish I had had the opportunity to speak with every one there and name each person who helped make the mural happen. There will be a little 3-dimensional effect, and possibly a larger 3-dimensional effect. More will be revealed. Meanwhile, have a look at some hidden items:img_1039.jpgimg_1040.jpgimg_1041.jpgYou probably can tell the first is a coffee pot; the second is NOT a purse but a fishing creel; the third is NOT Sasquatch but a running girl. She isn’t fat – that is her sweatshirt billowing. She isn’t holding a scarf – that is my attempt to blend her into the snow patches in a natural manner.

    How I wish I could have been there for the “big unveiling!” I’m glad the festive event was a success.

    And how clever of you to include some “Hidden Mickeys” in your mural. Some day I’d like to swing by on my way up or down and see if I can find a few. Or all 12, even!

    And . . . so what WERE the 2 dumbest questions and the 3 most annoying comments? Inquiring minds want to know!

    The 2 dumbest and the 3 most annoying will be revealed in the talk I give for the Mineral King Preservation Society’s annual Picnic in the Park. July 19 is the date this year (I think – it is on a Saturday on or near that date). Guess you’ll just have to wait – doncha just hate that?
