The Mural Continues part 18

We took advantage of the warm nice weather today to make significant progress on the mural. When I arrived Pat and Merry were already there. I started with the item in the top photo, the sunken boat. The shapes didn't change much, just the colors, dulled and darkened a little to help it sit back in the water. Added the details of windshield and steering wheel. I think it's done.

I spent the largest part of my time today working on a hammerhead shark, one of the suggested items from the community mural day. Pat pulled up an image off the web as a guide. It showed a profile of the shark swimming straight, but a more dynamic pose was requested, so the front half is pretty much like the photo, but I changed everything behind the dorsal fin to imply more movement.

With a little daylight remaining, I put in one more item from the community mural- the lost city of Atlantis. (how do we know it's not in Shark River?) We wanted it to be something in the distant background, so I put in a silhouette in a dark color (3rd photo) in the shape of a classical Roman/Greek style ruin. The color may change later, as we see how it reacts with other things in the mural, but this will do for now.

The other painters were busy, too. Another mermaid (in silhouette) was added, along with more plants, a variety of sea floor animals, and some swimming fish. All of these can be seen by clicking on the photo of the whole wall. There are still many things to be added, so we're hoping for some more warm dry weather between now and the dedication on December 2.
