Atlanta Mural

en route to Atlanta via Amtrak

-- freshly cleaned bungalow is ready for a fresh mural

Merely a week to design and paint. At this point it might be a peacock or it might be a squid.

During the Thanksgiving week inspiration pecked towards a bird design.

This deity blessed -- homeowner Sara is a highly motivated individual. Her capable, creative hand is an important reminder.

Another task, deriving the color palette inspired by this bedspread in the bungalow.

Half the week was used to create, revise, and arrive at the two wall mural design. Thank you coffee and an inspiring walk through the graffiti yard.

November sunshine continues and we began to fly.

Community effort: Sara's children and neighborhood friends helped.

Two wall design and one is behind the front porch wall. One must walk about the home to experience the art.

We worked into the night with heaters and lamps. Here Sara is up at first light plucking away at work tasks and planning a large bird meal for 15.

Ever watching this design includes protective placement of the bird with 100 eyes.

Thanksgiving Day with a selection of the folks who participated in the creation of the mural.

Rusty shows off another section of the mural and thanks for the great photos too.

Equally important are the family hi fives.

As has been noted, a squid painting was a possibility. That initial notion is rendered in the final note from Sara.
