Solomon's Temple Complete

May 15th to June 14th, 2011 a mural became a reality......thank you Betty Heath for being a painter with me, and thank you friends for carrying me through......to completion.  We painted for a total of 20 days during this period.  Some days alone, some days with Grandma and Betty, but every day with God.  Awewinds means:  the winds carry the picture from the paint brush to the wall, canvas, board or window.  The winds of those who help me and others bring the picture to this dimension.

Today Betty Heath and I put the final touches on the mural.  The gold columns were treated to a rounding affect.  Then the river behind the aqueduct was changed to a bluer water to reflect the sky.  The aqueduct was trimmed in a gray, brown, green mixture of paint, and the bulls received their platform.  The two darker bulls also were dressed with a bit of gold.

As Betty and I stepped away to take a look at the final touches, we were amazed at how 3-d this mural looks in person.

I hope you get a chance to go and look at it.  It is on Huffermantown Road just down from the McDonald's on the opposite of the road.  You can see just a bit of it after you turn on Huffermantown Road, pass the trees and then you can see it boldly.

I gave Jane the color card for Merwin, and donated a gallon of sealer.  I also appreciated the gift you gave me and Betty.  This covered a myriad of needs. 

A final picture will be added after the temple is sealed. The sealer changes the colors and makes them darker so look for it sometime next week.




Thanks Masons for the opportunity to paint this mural it is the largest done so far, and Betty hung in there and painted like a champion.  So THANKS to all for the good prayers, wishes and just all around support during this time.  There was one point when I had thought I would have to quit because I didn't know how to do this large of a job with just ladders, but Wynne Kenworthy loaned me two, Mr. Gurganus loaned me two 40 foot ladders and the job got done.......what a blessing...thank you. Peace.
