Assembled mural - 20' x 40' This mural had to be done indoors, in a restricted area on sheets of material that were four feet by eight feet each. The panels are to be assembled later in a permanent location. The above picture is constructed from 25 photos of individual panels. |
The mural was done in December, 2012. Pictured here are two 4 ft.by 8 ft. panels on an 'easel' which would hold four panels. These two panels show parts of the 'faux' frame being painted. . |
|
Easels were constructed for the three mural projects to be undertaken in this space. Each easel would hold four panels at once, 2 wide, 2 high, lying horizontally. Four panels of the Bull Sale mural can be seen on the left. | |
Here four panels are assembled to make one 8' x 16' section of the 20' x 40' mural. | |
To ensure continuity it was necessary to constantly rearrange panels on easel. | |

With four panels being worked on at a time, 21 other panels were spread to dry elsewhere
in the building. There was no possibility
of seeing the mural as a whole. In order to see an approximation of the whole we carefully photographed each panel and pasted prints together to make a composite. Photo above is constructed in this way. Close window to return to previous page. Click here to see more about the subject of the mural. |

My back-up. Debbie kept the site clear and clean, kept the crew, me, supplied with food, coffee and encouragement. |
She also researched the original Bull Sale event of 1901 and found much authentic photo reference. I couldn't do anything without her. |
Mural installed in final location. |
