Richard's art part of Hospice House art show on spirituality

Dorothy Tuma wrote this about the Envisioning Spirituality art show that has now moved again,

"The show is again combined and hanging at the Hospice House, 7415 Cedar.

A big thank you to Lori for helping transport and hang last Thursday. Thanks also to Duane for the helping hand.

The staff and patients are enjoying the incredible art. One patient said she had visited three times the first day, 'there is so much to see'. I have had so many positive comments all ready!

I spent a little time with a woman in the gallery space on Friday. Her mom has been a patient at the Hospice House for two weeks. She was quietly crying and told me how much it meant to her to be surrounded by such great pieces of art. All of your statements are on site and she was reading and pondering your words as she was continuing her own experience of watching her mother die. You have all made a mark on her heart. As you have mine.

Thank you for sharing your art and the reasons for the creation. Please visit the Hospice House if you have never been there.

Take down will be late March..."

Barn mural installed in Vinton store

This barn and its surroundings took 5 of us most of the night but we felt like it worked out pretty good.

Seven days and over 40 canvases installed on the 20th and Vinton store!

Even more - we had to repair walls and paint skies! During the months of December and January, Rebecca Harrison has lead Pam Conyers-Hinson and Girardo to finishing the indoor canvases for the Vinton bag and save store while I have been working mostly with Jerimiah Neal and Mike Giron on the exterior work. But then Mike and Rebecca prepped for a few days and then Pam, Jerimiah and I joined them for the last 4. One more week should do. We are having fun, especially on our caffeine fueled break discussions. It is interesting to shift your schedule to nights, and most of us find there are positive aspects to it.

Latest interior canvases installed in Vinton grocery store.

Vinton street exterior mural done (except a few touches)

The rest of the pieces were installed yesterday. During the months of December and January, Rebecca Harrison has lead Pam Conyers-Hinson and Girardo to finishing the 32+ indoor canvases for the Vinton bag and save store while I have been working mostly with Jerimiah Neal and Mike Giron on the exterior work.

Three more panels finished and soon to be installed on the 20th and Vinton store!

And tonight we start prepping the interior for our canvas murals to be installed!
