The mural at the Three Rivers History Museum is now finished!
(Yes, the light for photographing the mural is different in the morning than in the afternoon. You are observant about details like that!)
The lower background, the foreground and the trees all needed refining. Louise also noticed that someone climbing the tower would have to make a giant leap to reach the top, so I painted in another step. I added a bit more texture in the shaded parts of Empire Mt. along with 3 wild blue flax. These things are only apparent in person.
Best viewed from a bit of distance, perhaps down the hall as you enter the building. This is easier than viewing it from the back of a fast horse, or perhaps from a speeding car. However, you will miss the 3 wild blue flax if viewing it from down the hall.
Life is a series of decisions, choices and consequences.
There will be more. . . stay tuned.

It looks FABULOUS! Another successful venture!
Thank you, Anne. It might look fabulous, but an explanation will be required for viewers to know what that tipi thing is.
… just awesome – are you open to a suggestion? I am wondering if adding an ore bucket on the ground might help explain to out of town visitors what the tower is …
Diane, you are spot on! There will be one and possibly two ore buckets there, along with a sign explaining what that weird teepee thing is. I ‘splained it to people multiple times while painting, and it was fun to see the light turn on in their faces.
