EMBRY-RIDDLE 90th Aniv. Mural
EMBRY RIDDLE 90th ANIVERSARY MURAL I LOVE MY JOB! Especially working on this mural. It’s at the flight school by the Prescott Airport. First, of course, I “had”to go flying to take the references I needed to get the correct angles and features and people requested. But the first time out, I was in the…

I had the great honor of painting 7 murals depicting our history in Prescott in the building directly across the main entrance of the Courthouse. This building was thoughtfully restored by Cliff Petrovsky to be as much like it was back before the Great Depression. As a kid, the building was always Penneys and Woolworths,…

GUITAR ART Recently, I learned how to use automotive paint. I painted my scooter.

So I got to thinking…some of the details…

CHALKING UP AZ! I’m putting these events in chronological order, the most recent ones first. Good friend Jen, after doing chalk art here in Prescott with me, decided to organize a festival in Cochise County where she lives. She teaches art normally, but her small school where she taught closed. Jen, not being one to…
Read Moretrying my hand at AFRICAN FOLK ART
AFRICAN FOLK ART A home here in Prescott has 3 distinct wings. The main area is all African and African-inspired decor. The other 2 areas are Irish and Italian. Those will be muraled later. Once again, I learned a lot in researching African Folk Art. The different symbols are not just doodles. They have meaning.…

WW2 AVIATION MURAL Like a lot of art/murals I do, I learned a lot from this one. Not only from the art aspect, but also from a historic point of view. I learned what kind of planes were used during WW2 and which ones were considered “cool”, like the P51 Mustangs, some with big teeth…
