Flexible schedule

Guess what??  We projected the mural tonight and it is ready to paint!!! Had to, because it is going to rain on Thursday and Friday.  Look! There were some tall young men who were very very helpful – Jarson, Joshua (I think that was Mr. Blue Shirt’s name!) and Jared, who is one of my drawing students.  That is Mickey securing the ladder with his foot. Betsy can draw well –  she has been helping me on this project from Day One and got the entire event organized at the last moment today!  These guys look like clowns, but Bill is the president of the Mural Team who changed his schedule to get ready this evening on a moments notice, and Larry? he pushed the scaffolding along real well!These are the official Mineral King Consultants who made sure everything looked accurate. Good thing they were here and noticed that everything was getting smaller and lower instead of larger and higher! (that projection method has some weak points.) The maquette (model painting) was a great help to correct for projector distortion and verifying accuracy.  And this is the final panel of the 10 required to cover the entire wall.  Unfortunately, there is about 5 feet of wall remaining on the left side, so tomorrow I will be looking through photographs to decide how to fill that space!  All that planning and still a bit of a gap – flexible schedule, flexible design!
