My submission for the Uncover Church Avenue has been accepted. The image of Roger Maris’s famous swing, painted with the Bonnie Youth Club colors will be up by early spring. The project is an attempt to turn unused, or shuttered store fronts to give a more aesthetic appearance to the avenue. A crew of experience muralists will be assisting me in transferring the image to store grate.
I intend to be like Peter Paul Rubans who had his many students paint his large scale paintings and then with brush in hand, would move around the studio placing finishing touches on all his work. He was one of the first truly wealthy artists.
Hopefully, my drawing will do the neighborhood justice.
Do you know about Mona Caron she is an San Francisco based artist and does the most amazing http://www.monacaron.com mural with neighborhood involvement.
Congratulations! I love this mural, Bruce, it will definitely do Church Ave, and Bonnies, justice (and your other entries were excellent as well, loved the dreamy Children’s Corner in particular). Can’t wait to see this in real life!
