The Mural Continues part 12

Phase 2 of the mural got off to a great start this morning, as several people turned up to put down the background of deep blue water. From our Siperstein's supply we started by rolling layers of Aquamarine (upper) and Blue Bayou (lower), but then went over it all with brushwork and various mixes of the two colors to give a more watery feel. The results are shown in the bottom photo. So far, so good, though most of the under water space will be covered with the collective fantasy of what lies below. Before then the unpainted strip along the base of the wall will be dealt with- sand, maybe some plant life.

The next big event is the Community Mural Day at the BAC Boatworks, Saturday October 20, 12 to 3 pm. The public of all ages and artistic abilities is invited to come by to provide input as to how we'll complete the mural. A 4' x 18' reproduction of the mural will be mounted on wall inside, and art materials provided for all interested persons to create their own ideas of what lies beneath the surface of the Shark River inlet. These will be attached to the indoor mural and laminated for future showings around town. The artists working on the outdoor mural will later choose favorites from the community suggestions to enlarge and incorporate into the full size version on the wall outside.
