Mural week day 5

Murals

As Friday ended, most of the muralists were still working on their murals. The mural on the LaRue Pool building was mostly finished.

But Rein was applying some finishing touches when I stopped by.

 If you examine the mural closely, you might find a treasure chest guarded by a sea serpent.

One of the trademarks of the artist doing the lady on the Horton building is the texture of the paintings. You cannot see it from a distance, but it is very clear when you get close.

Here is what the mural looked like on Friday evening.

Nick Abstract may have finished his mural. He worked through a lot of heat.

Trent Musch finished his mural at the back of eMbers.

The artist explained what she was trying to do with this dragon with a candle but I did not understand it well enough to try to repeat it.

The tools of the trade.

The back of City Hall is very colorful. I have not asked the artist what it all means.

As the Dueling Pianos were playing nearby, Holly Sims was finishing her mural.

Friday was a brutally hot day and the muralist painting the side of Anders Water Conditioning shows it.

Notes

Tonight's celebration was Dueling Pianos. It appeared that the turnout was good. There were a lot of people playing cornhole.

Earlier on Friday panels were being assembled in the alley behind Markit Arts. They will be used on Saturday in a painting contest involving some of the muralists and a few local residents at the Art in the Alley event.

I expected more to be set up for Art in the Alley when I passed by midday on Friday. 

Friday was Teen Mission's Community Day at Brookside Park. A long line of cars waited for free food.
