The original Mill Pond completed by the students of Jones County Senior High School.
The refurbishing began because of the deterioration of the paint.
The first step was to scrap it off the building, put on a thick coat of primer.
The picture done by the students will be remembered forever as there will be a plaque places beside the refurbished mural recognizing what a beautiful mural was first painted on the building built in Trenton.
I have spent about 3 days on the clean up and blocking in of the mural. The trees on the right side were reduced and pictures were taken of the millpond surroundings to create the many trees that make the mill pond so beautiful.
On the left side of the pond you will begin to see the bank where you might find geese or ducks on the grounds, which makes me think of how the wildlife love the serenity of the pond and the music it makes crossing the concrete barrier. It is truly a piece of living art for Trenton, NC.
There is a lot of painting to be completed and hopefully by Thanksgiving this year it will be finished weather permitting. So keep looking and watch for small changes as the pictures comes to rest on the side of another building in Trenton.
Thanks for this opportunity Willow Faye Stroud and Luke McKinney.
