Kokomo Perspective Mural...Coming Soon!

In early November the volunteers and I closed up our outdoor on-location shop for the winter. We were able to reach our goal of completing the under layer of the downstairs half before the temperature fell below 50 degrees. The progress so far is very eye-catching, and I cannot wait for everyone to see the final product this spring.

Volunteers paint primer on to mural during the United Way Day of Caring.

The volunteers and I will now move on to painting nine huge marine board panels for the upstairs half of the mural. The panels are cut to fit over the bricked up window forms visible on the building. Last week we moved 6 of the 9 panels from the third floor of Artworks downtown to my garage studio at home so that we may have more freedom with paint time and continue working on them this winter. The Perspective will buy the other three panels when we are ready for them. As soon as the weather breaks, we will have the finished upstairs panels hung and paint the final shading layer on the downstairs. Weather permitting, I look for this one to be finished early 2016! Big thank you for the continued support given by Dana Osburn from STAR Financial Bank, Jenni Adams and Beth Rattray from the Howard County United Way, Chad McCarter from the Kokomo Perspective, and the Kokomo Art Association. 

You can see the upstairs windows that will soon have painted panels on them here. 

That's all Folks! Finished underlayer complete just in time. See you next spring!
