Mural week, Saturday update, Updated

The chess queen was finished and signed Friday afternoon by Caesar Perez.
It is best viewed in the morning walking along the sidewalk on the Court House side of the street.
The painting by Mister Toledo seems almost finished.
The octopus by Trent Musch looks like it has a ways to go, but because he is local, he does not have pressure to finish it quickly.
On Friday evening there were still four spots on the First Merchants mural that were blank. Late on Friday Ricky Watts did the segment above the word "are" and Pawn did the eye in the upper right.
I count 14 murals finished or underway. There are supposed to be 15 total, but there are a couple of spots that may get paint before the project is completed. Maybe this little one next to the bird on the back of eMbers will count as the 15th. Ricky Watts is painting it.
On Saturday morning the Farmers Market was busy with lots of vendors and customers.
Blueberry season has started. There was a big crowd at the berry farm we visited.
I may update this post later today.

MID-AFTERNOON UPDATE

The addition to the back of eMbers look complete or almost complete.
Two more works are finished and signed. Mister Toledo signed in the right corner.
FASM Creative also signed in the right corner, though he signed black on black, so it may not be readable in the picture below.
Three works are still underway. The bank wall has two empty slots that are scheduled for Alex Ann Allen and Mister Toledo.  The squiggle next to the eye was painted by suburban warrior and the bonzai tree under the eye is being painted by Ryan Preston. Ryan did a lot of the prep work but did not paint a mural this year. The elephant on the back of Embers Station is his. Caeser Perez was planning to paint a section but for some reason will not.
Still not finished are the octopus and the Alex Ann Allen mural.

This will probably be the last update. Next week I will try to do a summary post.
