The Mural Begins

I left the Studio around 5pm, having changed into clothes acceptable to paint in, and drove to Belmar to help with the start of the mural. We had 8 or 9 people turn up to help. The first step was to put a grid on the upper part of the wall- smapped chalk lines to show horizontals, and using a straight edge (top photo) to mark the verticals. The 2nd photo provides a shows how it will appear relative to the whole building. The 3rd photo shows the progress made by 8pm, which is when I decided to call it a night. The last photo is a detail that shows the part I painted. These are just reference lines- all will eventually be painted over with the actual colors. I plan to be part of that process as well.
