Mooney Museum Mural, Day 7A

Not really. It wasn’t Day 7; it was Day 6, but I seem to have trouble counting accurately on occasion. (You may have noticed that the mural saga jumped from Day #3 to Day #5.)

My goal on Day 7 (6) was to finish basket #2, along with some finishing touches to all the other murals.

This is the basket design I chose for the second circle.

This time I painted the inside rim in addition to the circle itself. I learned from the other one that there was no point to making it look as if it was in shadow, because it truly is in shadow, due to the rim.Next, I drew on some guidelines. This was easier than the first time. That’s how practice is supposed to work.

Here is a photo to help you see where basket #2 will go.
The paint colors were already mixed, so I was able to dive in.But wait, what is this??Sometimes I like to just have a little fun.

Allll-righty-then! Tomorrow I’ll show you the finishing touches. Stay tuned.

  1. What a cool project! Mega Dittos on the woodpecker! ?

    • Thank you, Stacy, for the mega-dittos! It was one of the most enjoyable mural projects I’ve had yet.

  2. Love the acorn woodpecker! Think we’ll take a drive to Mooney Grove Park to see this incredible mural!

    • Nice to hear from you, Rachelle! The woodpecker is fun – we need fun right now.

  3. Love the woodpecker! Now, this one I can see from a web site (as opposed to your “hidden gems” in your murals). Looking forward to seeing the F.P.I.A.I.G.

    (Finished Product In All Its Glory)

    • Thank you, Sharon! The woodpecker is just an added piece of fun, and I’ll have to return to the park in better light to photograph the entire building again. (BTW, I will not ever remember FPIAIG.)

      • No worried–I just made it up 10 minutes ago!
