Day Twenty-One on the Mural

IT IS FINISHED! That is, it is finished if the Mural Team agrees. What a week – the hottest days and the coolest day of the entire project happened within the 6 consecutive days. Weather is not a cliche or a conversation filler – it matters immensely when working outdoors! Today was marked by the […]

Day Twenty On The Mural

Today is only in the 90s – almost sweater weather, compared to Wednesday and Thursday! One day left in my mini marathon run of mural painting – oh yeah, I called it because I am an experienced professional!

Progress is being made despite the fact that today was unspeakably hot and I bailed early. Today was marked by three things: the hottest day yet the saddest day – heard a kitten crying off and on the entire time the weirdest guy came by and told me Exeter has the most murals per capita […]

Day Thirteen on the Mural

This is the before and after of today’s painting session:     Doesn’t look as if there is a great deal of real estate to be covered here. Looks can fool you! Because each photo was taken from a different vantage point, I keep getting confused as to which level of rocks, individual rocks, trees […]
