Painting in Church, Again, Chapter One

In 2015 I painted a mural at the front of my church, inside the sanctuary. (in Three Rivers)

Two years later, I added snow covered mountains in the distance.

Yesterday, I began adding to the left side, thinking a few trees would do the trick.

First I studied the wall, then I added 2 lines where I thought it needed trees.

Inadequate. It needs more trees and some ground so the trees aren’t just floating, or sprouting out of the carpet.

Wholly inadequate. The meadow needs to be extended.

The Music Man came by and turned on the stage lights for me. This showed me that I didn’t know what I was doing, and it was too dark to mix the greens correctly. Should have had lunch. Wish I’d slept better the night before.  

I thought I’d do the left side one day, the right side a second day.

Fall down laughing.

Come back tomorrow to see the progress once the stage lights were on.

  1. Can’t wait to see the progress! What a beautiful addition to a blank church wall, and a testimony to God’s beautiful creation!

    • Thank you, Sharon! It has been a distraction to me in church because I keep studying it, thinking, “This could be better, that could be fixed, those should be changed. . .”
