Library Mural Part II

Joann, Linda, Kathy

Sunday afternoon “our ladies of the mural” kept their spirits high and dry in spite of a pervasive mist from a noisy power-washer actively cleansing the library parking lot. These ladies could paint through a tidal wave if necessary.

Linda and Joann laid in the green-turning-gold mountains of Aromas while Kathy added texture and three-dimensional effects. They suffered oo’s and ah’s from bystanders and the occasional photo shoot….all in a days work.

This bystander would like to thank the trio for a job well done but not finished yet. Stay tuned and see next weeks progress!

If you don't live in Aromas, California, you might not know about the Aromas Bridge that has recently been dressed up with 75 colorful fish--all swimming toward town. Each fish is 42 inches long and painted by a volunteer using five vibrant colors of acrylic mural paint. Our volunteer painters were all ages, 10 to 80 years old, with or without painting experience. They carefully designed their fish, and the results are magnificent. Three generations in my family had a good time painting fish. I watched a senior couple paint one fish with their granddaughter.

Now that our river is clean and the steelhead are back--75 colorful fish have joined the fun. This is the ninth mural to be organized and donated by the Aromas Hills Artisans.
