We started these two 8'x80' canvases in mid April. They now are installed in the Grand Lodge Retirement Complex at 60th and Highway 370 in Omaha. Rebecca Van Ornam and Richard Harrison did most of the painting but we had help from Anne and Liz Newman (a mother, daughter team), Hugo Zamarano, Mike Giron and Gerardo Vazquez. There will soon be 5 glass shadow boxes 3'x4' in size displaying uniforms, metals and photos of some of the residents. The murals were designed through discussions with residents who had served in the military. We were mentioned in local newspapers in relation to this project. I was really happy that all our measurements worked out! The building will be completing construction in a month or two. I hope the residents will enjoy the mural.

Just finished a huge garden mural
This mural for Hillcrest Victoria Gardens was a joy to do since we got to visit with the residents over 3 weeks. It is in a common room for memory assisted patients. Thanks to Anne Newman and Hugo Zamorano for their help.

Our unveiling for the Lithuanian mural was amazing!
We had about 10 dignitaries from Lithuania, several who made speeches and gave us gifts and probably 50 community members join us for a really joyful celebration!
