The paintings are coming in!

6 weeks ago about 20 local art makers came to the studio to learn about the mural and sign up to paint pieces of the mural in their homes and studios. They have started bringing the pieces back and it is AMAZING to see what they have done! The skill and dedication to craft is a joy to see. Mike Sprague drew each of the images in the body of the mural making it cohesive, while the individuality of the art makers, their palettes, and brush strokes make each image unique.
