Mooney Museum Mural, Day 7B

Really it is Day 6B, but there was that careless numbering incident. Let’s not dwell on that. Instead, have a look at the finishing touches for Day 6, my final day on the mural on the Tulare County Museum in Mooney Grove Park, Visalia, California, the county seat of Tulare County, where I was born.

Shut up, Central California Artist, and just show us some pictures.

I painted the inner rim to match the wall color so it would be lighter in there. This scrub jay landed atop the circle. Obnoxious birds, but such a pretty color.

That’s not a real bird!

Okay, it didn’t land. It got painted on.

I signed it in two places. Never had to figure out how to do this before, because this is the first 4 part mural I’ve painted.

Here is the final look. I finished earlier than usual, so the light wasn’t that great for photography.

I’ll miss working here. The people are great, the museum is interesting, and the grounds are beautiful.

Tomorrow I will show you one more interesting thing about these murals. 

Thanks for following my mural project!

  1. Jana, such a beautiful addition to the building! Are you using house paint to paint on the brick? Thanks, Janet

    • Thank you, Janet! I use Nova Color, which are acrylic paints specifically formulated for murals: highly pigmented and lightfast.

  2. What a wonderful upgrade to the front of the museum. The right artist for it was definitely chosen.

    • Louise, I fully credit you for this job!

  3. I have really enjoyed your mural project!

    • Thank you, Virginia! So have I, but it certainly adds to my enjoyment to know it pleases others too!
