Mural Progress Report

Mom and I were up and ready to paint at 6:30 this morning.  After five hours, here is the progress we have made.  Stopped for the resident's lunch and our own and a welcome break!  The mural is a subject of great interest among the residents who are watching the progress and giving some good suggestions.  One man wants a wild turkey, so mom will be adding that detail at some point.  I took photos of bridges on the Wabash yesterday and will be adding those.  One of the residents insisted bridges were necessary and I agree.  Mom is doing her magic with the tobacco barn painting.  The barn no longer exists in West Lafayette, but Mom had her original sketches in different sizes and the original photos my dad took that she used to render this favorite subject in watercolors many times.

Well break time is over and we're heading back down to the dining room!
