Description
weather won't let me photograph the work in progress painting , maby tomorrow.
This is a wall mural I painted in 06, its 40feetx12feet painted in exterior latex and acrylics.
It's in a small town in Iowa, the town was originally founded about 12 miles from here when the railroad came thru they litteralry moved the town so about 1/3 of the buildings are not on their original foundations.... Moving a whole town (CRAZY) Anyway they requested , that I portray the past and the present, with a train as the focal point, other than that I was given full artistic liscense . A large portion of the tracks in Iowa have been torn up and turned into bike trails .... Thus the bike!

My, my...simply outstanding. I think a town that spends for a bit of original art unique to their history has spent money that has a lasting impact. There will be youngsters from that town who will be telling their grandchildren about this mural for years to come. We have such a mural here in Leavenworth too.

bravo on this Tom...its gorgeous. I used to get exhausted when I did large pieces in my younger years...because I had to keep running back from it to regain perspective LOL...I probably would have passed out doing this one :: This might explain why the biggest I do now is house wall murals and the like

Beautiful work! Our train tracks through town are also becoming bike trails. This is a lot better work than the murals painted in the downtown area that our city hired to be done. I could enjoy something like this, if only we had murals depicting the history of our town, instead nonsense. :o) Oh well...
