Hey Judy,
This mural drawing is being done in my studio. At first the commission was for it to be painted directly onto the wall, however a taxpayer revolt committee wouldn't allow it, so it has to be done on two separate panels, framed and since it deals with a Revolutionary War theme, be able to be removed at any time a "Politically Correct Inquisition" deem it harmful to
the 'pride and dignity' of hyphenated Americans. (Oh what we artists go through!)

I am very proud of this piece though. It is 10ft. long, (2 panels at 5ft.) and 2 1/2ft high. I went out to Prospect Creek Park in Pennsylvania where over 1000 people gathered in costume to do a re-enactment of the Revolution. Men, (dressed as Minute Men), women, children, horses blacksmiths, ministers, Englishmen, Indians, everything even troop whores!

I took 5 rolls of film for reference and have been arranging them into this panoramic scene of preparing for the day. If fact, that's what I might title it. The County Clerk gave me a flexible deadline, thank God, but they are going to have a ceremony when its unveiled. I will let you know and hope you can come. Yes, next Friday I will be at the County Clerk's office so I will take a photo of the wall and of the building and send them to you. I'll send more as progress continues.
