Because Day 1 of the neighborhood beautification project was packed so full of mural goodness, I split it into 2 posts. So Part 3 is actually only Day 2.
Here is a list of thoughts about painting this mural:
- I am quite happy about this mural. It’s been on my list to do for several years while I waited for an idea, an opportunity, and the right attitude.
- One more day ought to do the trick.
- I hid something in this mural.
- Two voices were warring in my head over all the other noises: one said, “What do you think you are doing, you faker?” and the other said, “Keep painting, chickie-babe, you’ll figure it out”.
- Why are kids so noisy? They are continually crying and yelling. (There is a day care nearby.)
- The equipment inside this building runs all day long, sounding like a dishwasher or washing machine.
- The noisiest vehicles in the neighborhood are the ones that drive back and forth, all day.
- Whole lotta barking dogs around here.
- People are very encouraging and complimentary.
- I didn’t post on Instagram or put the mural on the blog while I was working on it, because it is a gift for my neighborhood, not a publicity feat. (I don’t ever do the Facebook*.) It has been fun to just quietly do the thing and let people discover it on their own.
*”The Facebook” is said the same way I say “liberry”, “prolly”, “Mr. Google”, and “Remorial Building”. I’m not as dumb as I sound, in case you were worried. Thank you for your concern.

Your paintings are so realistic, the water from the river dribbled onto the concrete slab in front of the doors! (See picture #1)
What is this . . . “Where’s Waldo?” Or maybe in honor of tomorrow, “Where’s Elf on a Shelf?” I don’t even try because I never can find hidden things. I’ll wait for someone to spot it for me.
Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family! He is born, the Divine Christ Child!
