Day 11 10-28-08

It was a chilly morning and I started painting at 10:00 today. I gave the sun time to warm the wall up. I'm pleased with the progression on the Courthouse. Shading and the fine details are really going to make the building realistic. I roughed in some of the ground to keep the building grounded. I don't like keeping them appearing like they are floating over the grassy noels.

Today I also added another gable to the Civic Center. I had several visitors today. One mentioned attending 5th grade in the Civic Center when it was a grade school. He showed me the window to the class room where he learned that JFK was shot. The buildings selected by the Merchants Association have many memories for all the fine folks raised in Fayette. I enjoy hearing the stories. The mural project is an excellent way to promote the history and tourism for Fayette. In case I haven't already mentioned.....I'm honored to be apart of the project. Thanks to all the well wishers and kind words about the project.
