When I painted the cream colored tone in the sky area, the employees started asking if it represented a smoggy day with a temperature inversion. I scumbled thin washes of semi-transparent whitish and cerulean blue tones over the creamy sky which now is beginning to have the effect I desired. The creamy tone is showing through a little. I was very pleased with the result. The sky is still a long shot from being finished. There will be many layers of color, value and patterns yet to accomplish. Remember, on a scale like this, I have to cover very big areas in a days time. I can't always do it all in one setting. I will likely continue to make several adjustments in the sky even as I paint on other areas of the mural. Painting is like a delicate balancing act, adjusting and balancing design principles and color theory until everything is in place.
It was a good day, in spite of the few hours I spent. I had to pay a traffic fine in the morning and leave a little earlier in the afternoon than I had hoped because my son needed to borrow the truck to fix his car. Jay Reynolds, the Shop Manager didn't even loose an eagle feather. Amazing!. He might just get his eagle after all.
