This is at Tulare County Fire Station #14, at the corner of Sierra Drive and South Fork in Three Rivers. When I arrived this morning, this is what was waiting:
Nice prime job, Mike! Thanks! Next, I drew on the design with a small stiff paintbrush in gray paint. It needed a little improving, so I switched to green for the corrections.
Then, I began with the sky and worked my way forward. Had a nice visit with Lieutenant O’Dell – I grew up with his dad and uncle out in the oranges north of Ivanhoe! (Can’t be anonymous in Tulare County!) He was hospitable and helpful, and he likes to draw, so I gave him lots of tips as I painted. At the end of the day, this is what the tank looked like:

Jana you have outdone yourself! this is looking great:)
I will have to come and visit over christmas break sometime, its been too long….
Very nice… You just keep getting better at this, don’t you? Alta Peak and Moro Rock over Kaweah Lake… thanks for sharing.
Now, that’s a nice mural. Could you have done that much in a day? It looks really good.
Wow, great improvement in just one day! I hope you will post when the mural is finished.
Jana, It’s looking great. I want to reach out and touch it. Your subject matter fits the bill and should dress up the fire station!!!
Jana, that is awesome! Does it face Sierra Drive or South Fork? I’m going to have to go take a look!
Jana, What fun it will be to watch this one unfold. So glad to see the improvements at the station. This is a big one. It’s going to be beautiful!
Wow,
Jana that is looking great.
I knew we picked the right one.

JANA-I SPENT THE BETTER PART OF MY FIRST 12 YEARS OVER AT THAT FIRE STATION; IT’S NICE TO SEE THAT THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING TO IMPROVE THE LOOKS OF IT.
I ENJOYED SEEING THE PICTURES OF THE ROARING RIVER AFTER THAT MINI HURRICANE WE HAD LAST WEEK. THE RIVER CAN GO UP SO FAST WITH JUST ONE STORM AND MOST PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE THAT, UNLESS YOU’RE AN OLD TIMER LIKE ME. GOSH I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD CALL MYSELF AN OLD TIMER!
DARYL AND I WILL CELEBRATE OUR 30TH ANNIVERSARY TOMORROW THE 20TH ! BOY DOESN’T TIME FLY!

Very Nice!
