I am beginning a new project, this will be a 5'x 16' mural for the Menifee County Library in Frenchburg, Kentucky. I set up a make shift easel on a wall in my dinning room, "I did tell you I would take over the house with my painting honey  :) " Here you see the first two panels primed with the sky painted in.

Here is the initial sketch for the first panel.  There is a story about the turkey featured in the Mural, this turkey was injured and ended up having one of her legs wither away, this turkey can still be seen around town hopping around on one leg. I hear she is doing well and will be seen for years to come.. I will be doing these basic sketches showing what I want to include but I am sure more elements and details will make their way into the painting as I go along. "they always do"

Me putting in some dark's and defining where I want to put the trees.
