Mural Progress: One pillar done

I got my first of the new pillars done painting today. Here are three views of it.

 

Mural Week 1

So I managed to get in three days of painting this week before the threat of rain and am mostly done mapping out my colors. I need to finish one more green and then touch up that color on all of them before I go on to do linework.

 

Mural Progress

Update on the mural: I got all of the blue and other colors but green done, except the black linework. This is coming along quick so far.

 

New Mural Project

My proposal was accepted so I am embarking on my biggest mural project yet, to paint five more sunflower pillars on the pavilion at DCI Park in Hutchinson. I will help to create cohesion and tie the whole of the pavilion together by painting every other pillar to match while other artists do their own unique creative things on the remaining pillars. I am glad to be such a big part of this project. Today I got the blue done on three of my remaining five pillars, and I hope to finish the blue and the alternative colors this week. I may even manage to start on the green but I'm pretty sure the black, which is the most time-intensive, will have to wait until next week at the earliest.

 

Positivity Pollinators signs

I worked on another Positivity Pollinators sign to go with the Sphinx Moth I did awhile back for all of the placemaking community work Hutch Rec is doing. I think all the signs will be on display again for the Third Thursday in August 2026.

Today is the last day of my show at Metropolitan Coffee in Hutchinson. I will be taking the show down late this morning so catch it while you can.
