Trail Guy stopped by to check on my progress and suggested that I place my bucket under the drip to see how much is coming off that pipe in 24 hours. Well, 20 hours, because I have been working about 4 hours a day. It started sort of hot again in the sun yesterday and by the end of the session, I put my ragged flannel paint rag on. (It’s an old shirt, one that belongs in a rag bag except that I need it.)
I wonder if puffy white clouds would look good on this wall. Those unpainted spaces could become clouds.
More will be revealed as more is covered.

Clouds would be good. The scene has the sense of looking through the forest to the future. (…forest for the trees?). Just the kind of message folks are looking for in that setting, If you see Sis. Danielle, tell her hi for me.
Donna, there is a wonderful sense of light coming through the trees in my main reference photo and I hope to be able to capture that feeling. Sister Danielle is a delightful person, and I will greet her for you when I next see her. I’m guessing you know her because of fishing.
Danielle is indeed special. We shared a weekend retreat in Mammoth, all ladies, all fly fishing. I’ve also run into her on bird counts.
Did you purposely disguise the pipes and electrical against the bark color?
So how much water DID drip from the pipe in a 20-hour period? (IMWtK)
Sharon, I was pleased to see that the pipe would look somewhat camouflaged against the redwood tree.
This morning my walking buddy and I went to the mural and the bucket was completely dry!! Life is full of unanswered questions.
