New Indoor Mural

St. Anthony’s Retreat is a conference grounds here in Three Rivers, a gathering place by many people for many reasons, not just a place for Catholic retreats. I like to go there; it’s close to home, has happy memories, and most of the people who work there are my friends (I don’t know all of them. Yet.) Plus, if I am there around lunchtime, they feed me really good food.

They want to convert a small windowless room to a prayer chapel, and got the idea to have me paint a mural on one of the walls so that it doesn’t feel claustrophobic in that space.

The wall isn’t entirely blank at this time; there is a beautiful oil painting by the talented Father John.

The wall is about 14 feet long and 10-1/2 feet high.

We got the shape and size measured, marked, and taped.
“We”? Yes, my trusty, competent, and willing assistant came along.

Stay tuned. I’ll show you the mural as it grows.
