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!

What a great mural! How fortunate the town was to find you. It's perfect for what they asked you to do. Thanks for sharing this with us.
