Library Mural VIII.......by Joyce Oroz

Saturday’s paint-out was a big success. Progress was made as John and Linda hung the new library sign featuring Frog and Toad. Heather scampered up her ladder and stayed there all afternoon painting the Wild Things. Julia added more foliage to the river bank and Linda added more life to the Dinosaur Stomp. Just like Santa and the Easter Bunny, Kathy had already added more magic to the mural on Friday while no one was around. The “ladies of the mural” really get around!

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.
