After falling off of my blog's radar for a few months, I have decided it is high time to update and share. Autumn 2013 and spring 2014 look like they are chock full of large scale projects, sprinkled with a few little contests and challenges. I would like to thank the Vancouver Evergreen School District community, especially at Burnt Bridge Creek Elementary; the support staff, administration, and faculty have been so helpful and supportive of this year's groundbreaking school mural/public art project, and without their help this would be a daunting task. Thank you to Sherwin Williams also for their generous paint donation, and yes, I do plan to Paint the Earth as they say, one bit at a time... So, the first order of business for my wonderful daughter's school was to paint nine 36" x 48" paintings, each themed with the local geography, history, wildlife and learning focus as content; in order to complement the accompanying wall mural. The wall mural is a 25' x 12' wall facing the school's library area, running through a hallway that all classes access. The first painting, 'Salmon life Cycle' had content that is consistent with what the fifth grade students learn during a portion of biology in conjunction with visiting local hatcheries in spring. This one is complete, up and hung:
