Welcome to Mural 41′s Story

Hi!  Here you will find the unfolding story of the creation of Mural 41 as well as stories about the people who visit during the progress of the mural and anything else interesting that might occur.  If you have questions, ask away!  If you have feedback, please share it.  The murals of Chemainus are more than just paintings on a wall.  They are the story of the town’s history, a celebration of evolution and survival in an ever-changing economy and, most importantly, a study in community and how a town can work together to make something totally unique and beautiful.

So, join me on this amazing trip through Mural Town!

A Mixed Weather Day Off

After working in the scorching sun yesterday and getting quite a bit of paint detail on the little girl in the foreground of segment one, I’ve had an enforced day off painting thanks to a day of mixed rain and windy weather.

I had hoped to spend the entire day at work on Segment 1 – and had even retrieved my 10′ x 10′ canopy from storage to afford a bit of shade – but it seems I jinxed the weather by doing that!  Well, it provided an excellent opportunity to get Mural 41′s blog, Flickr page, Twitter  and YouTube up and running.

Stay tuned for more photos, videos, tweets and news about the work and the people who visit!
