I seem to be a person who is always volunteering for SOMETHING!
I was the mom who was ALWAYS at the school -- helping with something.
I was a volunteer at the hospital.
I was the Girl Scout mom--let the brownies, worked with the cookie drive, took the girls to the summer camp.
All that-- and more.
When Lynn and Dave were in Junior High and High school, I was the mom who took all the kids to practice. All the girls to their practice. And anything else that they thought to do.
I was cheerleader mom for a year AND made their costumes.
I enjoyed every minute!
So, it was really not a surprise when Lynn called me one day," Mom, are you busy?"
I knew something was up!!
It didn't take long for her to tell me about my next volunteering event!!
At our Church this past October, we had a Jesus House walk through thing.
There were six rooms, each with a different scene. It told the story of 3 teens. Some of it even made me cry, and shrink into myself. It was AWESOME!!
Anyway, I digress, had volunteered to do the first room -- because her mom could paint murals.
I finally remembered that the last one I had done was 15 years ago. I was a lot younger.
October of 2012 was HOT. So I had just a little time each day to paint.
I want to thank Lynn Dakour, Dave Gowan, Lynn Smith, Keith Smith and my wonderful husband for helping me. I couldn't have done it without all of you.
This is what I painted---from the East to the West.
Sorta crooked pictures!! I was too excited. I love doing things like this!!
Do I put in the grass in the foreground. I did a little grass.
The lady in the house behind us came out side to look us over!! OOPS! I forgot about all the perverts that take pictures of schools. YUCK--OO! Had to spend some time calming down her worries.!
The main entrance and the focal point of the painting!
More detail!
I dcided to end here at the west of the picture.
When we finished, We had a seven foot tall and 40 foot long painting.
BIG!!
Thanks to my training I was able to get the perspective pretty good. The kids from Duncan High thought it was good. That's high praise. And it all goes to God!!
More later, Linda
