Mural Week 2021 Day 5

(Day 4 is here.)

More murals were finished on Wednesday. GrizzlyBear Designs signed his octopus on the Anders Water Conditioning building.

(I will get a final picture when the light conditions are favorable.)

Alex Ann Allen was finished Wednesday evening but had not yet signed the mural on the Rule Auto Care building.
Moosy added his signature to his mural.
And Ian Ross signed his mural at the top where it is hard to read.
Below is the finished mural with a drone taking pictures of it.
Earlier on Wednesday Mr Ross was making some final changes. He was the only muralist that I saw using a paint roller.
The artists tape the windows to keep them clean. Ross added a bit of whimsey to the  paper protecting the window. It is gone now that the mural is finished.

On Wednesday evening Kristine Campbell was painting flowers on her mural. 
Neverxtinct still had a lot of work left on his mural.
I asked him why he had left white squares. He said that they would be filled with color but that most of the rose would remain gray. He said that a friend who was helping him was doing a small fish in the alley by the green man. So I went to see what he was doing and found two of the muralists hanging out waiting for supper time. 

I was surprised to see three other paintings that had recently been completed or were underway. The Instagram for MNSTR SQUAD is here. I know who it is but cannot get him to confess.

The Prestons were doing a mural nearby.
Cameron Moberg had a banner made for them.
Ryan Preston does the preliminary preparing of walls for the murals, something the artists greatly appreciate. The Prestons had a mural on the Town Mall that was destroyed in the fire.

Up on a roof Trent Musch was painting something that will be almost impossible to view from the ground.
Cameron Moberg said that he had gotten permission to paint these walls but none of the scheduled artists wanted them because they were small and inaccessible. Maybe more pictures will appear tomorrow as some of the muralists have fun.

Walmart has been redoing their signage and I found these three signs made an interesting and somewhat confusing contrast.

The roof on the Court House gazebo is being replaced.
Finally, the basketball court at Brookside Park was given its final layer of asphalt on Wednesday morning. Perhaps soon people will be playing basketball there.
