Today felt like summer, but it was still manageable in the shade which lasts on the wall until 1 p.m. It is quite nice at 6:30 a.m.! The light isn’t good on the mural at that time or I’d photograph it for you all. It is certainly quieter at that time of morning – I had forgotten how noisy a city is! If I’m not paying attention and the noon whistle blows, it could knock me right off that lift. All conversation ceases, and hands get clapped over ears all throughout the alley when that thing goes. Anyway, have a look at today’s work:
I realized that there wasn’t going to be enough space between the bottom of the mountain shadow and the lake, so the mountains got remodeled today. You might not be able to tell the difference, but this is definitely an improvement.
When I start each morning, I don’t always have a clear idea of what needs to be done next. Today’s first task was to scoot the tree to the left to fill the space a little better. (The space is from my inaccurate projection) Then I drew in the top of the lake and that’s when the proportion problem became apparent to me. Shoot. Oh well, it was an easy fix.
Then, these 2 guys showed up and started talking about skiing in Mineral King and used my old mural to reference various bowls and ridges.
When that one guy finally moved his old Toyota pickup, I was able to finish taping off the snapshots and put a base coat in. (Just kidding, Honey! I LOVE your old truck – it has been very good to us with the help of Foreign Auto Works)
