Yesterday I began a new mural in the Three Rivers Museum’s new Mineral King Room. The internet was on vacation, so you get to see the beginnings today.
This is the only photo I have of the Three Rivers Museum. Paul Bunyon doesn’t belong here, except that Carroll Barnes of Three Rivers carved him from a Sequoia.
What am I painting? So glad you asked. This is the upper reaches of Empire Mountain, which contains multiple mines. There was a tram with a cable running on towers to carry buckets of ore from the mines down to the stamp mill. I will paint a tram tower in the front. You can see the beginnings of it tomorrow.
Meanwhile, would you like to say hello to Samson?

I’m gonna love watching your mural progress Jana!! And I already LOVE Samson! I’m really glad it isn’t Samsung…
Kathryn, he isn’t Samsung, but he is explosive.
and the mural is FINISHED! You can see it at the museum.
Hello and love the area! Empire!!!
Thanks for recognizing it, Sally. Sure would be helpful if someone had taken a few dozen photos of the tram tower back when it was still standing.
P.S. Hello, Samson, you handsome kitty, you!
I wonder if he’ll keep the little spots on his belly as he grows, or if he’ll be like a fawn and lose the spots.
Yay! I can’t wait to see what magic appears on that wall, courtesy of your amazing talent! Oh, yes, then to see it in person next summer, too! 😀
Aw shucks, Sharon. It is such a privilege to be chosen to paint MK.
Aaawww
Nancy, it’s “aaawww” until he sinks his teeth into my hand!
