project

I began a new project a few weeks ago, And yesterday finished the first leg.  It's a mural project at church, for the children.  The church bought the rights to reproduce some illustrations from a children's Bible, and hired me to paint a few scenes in the stairwell on the way down to the Sunday school classrooms.  I'm not normally a big fan of depictions of Jesus; normally he looks all wrong in my opinion, but these are sweet, very simple, and stylized illustrations.  I've finished the first mural, and am moving n to the second. They are simple pictures of Jesus with children, in pretty colors.  It's been enjoyable, and the pressure is off somewhat, since the design is not mine, although I do want to do it justice.  Here's a detail that I like.  It's a dim stairwell in the afternoon, so the resolution isn't great, but you get a general sense of color and texture.

Here is a view coming up from the lower stairs to the first landing.  It wraps around both walls, and I really couldn't find a good way to photograph the whole thing. You'll have to click to see the full horizontal picture...

Here is the view from the top of the stairs. Terribly blurry, sorry about that!
