Mural, Day Five

This was quite a productive day as you can see by all the photos. (And I could see Sawtooth from It while I was painting Sawtooth!) First, after retrieving my wagon, mixing my paints and moving It, I have to climb It.  My niece documented the ascent so that Neighbor Bob can see how it is done. (see those built-in ladders?)img_0714.jpgimg_0713.jpgimg_0712.jpgimg_0711.jpg img_0710.jpgimg_0709.jpgNow, for the day’s work: Ashley helped block in color using a paint-by-number system. I mixed three shades of brown, assigned each a number and then wrote the numbers on the wall on some of the lower parts. She was great – even mixed more color herself when she ran out!img_0715.jpg img_0720.jpgimg_0718.jpg You can see that I finished Empire, Sawtooth and all the way through the top of Mineral Peak. Ashley did the bottom part of another “postcard” but it photographed weird. This Tom Sawyer way of getting more work done is great!

  1. Thanks, Diana! I am more than impressed by the size of the mural, but my vocabulary isn’t expansive enough to describe how it makes me feel on some days. And Shereen, this is definitely a creative exercise! I love climbing that thing so much that Michael offered to build me a jungle gym in our yard. (unfortunately, I think he was joking) Niece, return any time – you do great work!

  2. I feel so cool! Yea! i love being a part of it all!

  3. Looking good! Nothing like getting a little exercise while being creative.
    Would you call that creative exercise?
