The Making of a Mural
The Lake Providence Mural was created as part of Spring Conference 2009.
Preparation of the surface began Friday morning.
Friday night the design was penciled in with
aid of
a projector.
On Saturday morning painting of the outlines began.
Gallons and gallons of paint were used, most of it donated by local volunteers.
Not all of it landed on the wall.
The mural started in the minds of school students who were
asked to draw pictures of their community--
what they liked
and what would make it better. Artist Kate Murphy above left,
then took these images
and combined them in a quilt like design.
Thanks to everyone who made this day special and
who helped create a memory that will remain for years to come.
