Mural, Day Nineteen

First, before showing you the day’s progress, I want to tell you about an esteemed visitor today, Mr. Ron Hughart. He has published a wonderful autobiography  called The Place Beyond the Dust Bowl and is about to embark upon a book tour.  I am very proud of Ron, and have to confess that he is the victim of the second portrait I ever drew, way back when. You can find his book here:  http://www.amazon.com/Place-Beyond-Dust-Bowl/dp/1892622173img_0783.jpgToday I crossed into the 2nd third of the mural. I photographed it this way because is appears further! I even pulled the truck forward. . . wasn’t sure about driving an automatic and had to call Keith to inquire about the parking brake. It was the first time I have ever driven to Sawtooth – had to go there first to make some subtle changes, which LJ coached me on yesterday.  Here is the day’s work without all the porkadelia in the way. img_0782.jpg The sky looks pretty good in this! These photos help me understand that progress has been made, because today I was just sure that I painted the same snow patch over and over and over again.
