Time Change + Heat = Tired
The air temperature was cool, but the wall was actually hot to the touch.
Oh wait! That is Allen, from Friday, the cool overcast day. Doesn’t he look convincing as a skilled muralist?
Let’s have a little review of before and after.
BEFORE: (Notice the correct spelling because I speak English, not Bingo)
AFTER:
This isn’t entirely finished; there will be flowers. They will be like the cherry on top. It was too hot to keep standing there, so I moved after 3 hours of finishing the rocks, dirt and growing clumps of this, that, and the other thing.
There was a tiny bit left to finish on Panel #1, and I was able to cower in a little shade cast by my favorite Freightliner.
What is this??? (Or more accurately, who?)
Two guys working for the City of Exeter stopped by to say hi, and wondered how I paint across the gap between the truck and the wall. I appreciated their concern and curiosity. They appreciated the Disney character.
Panel #2 doesn’t have a lot of green, so I may be able to make up the time that Panel #1 ate up with all of its detail.
Traffic and visitors were down on Monday.
Larry said, ” I get why you have paint on the front of your pants, but how does it get on your butt?”
Only 2 idling trucks – Coors Light and Tapia Bros. Mondays must be slow for deliveries.

A Hidden Mickey–I love it! And quite ironic, considering the history of the area, eh?
Sharon, that was one of my favorite things to hide in the mural. Every hidden item in it is relevant to Mineral King, but that one just makes me smile.
Wait, Allen can’t be a Muralist, he doesn’t have any paint on him! Isn’t that required?
Dick, that is observant of you. Allen is a dear longtime family friend, and a classic goofball!
