The latest on my wall

Here are a few additions to the south wall. This is day 6 of painting...note the details around Big Ben, the Zen garden with the addition of the guardian rock aka Charlie.



I love the bone at Charlie's feet...Annabelle's touch!!

Mural...Day 2 & 3



As a "regular" person, I have many - probably too many, projects going on at once. At the immediate present, I have a mural being painted on my property.  My house has over 45 feet of retaining wall in the backyard which was painted the most ugly faded red color. And what with Joplin loosing so much to the tornado on May 22nd, I decided to act on my desire to beautify my house, neighborhood and town.  I have commissioned a very talented artist to paint said walls.  Granted it only required my work in the beginning...and that was enough to almost take my back out.  I discovered exactly how much concrete in surrounding my home...ALL of which was power washed by me. Then I had to prime the walls.  Now, it has begun and I'm loving it.
I do hope to throw quite a bit this weekend and there should be a glaze firing as well. So stay posted...
