Copa Cabana Cigar store and lounge is done

Rebecca Harrison did most of the painting. They officially open with a hoopla Satuday starting at 1:00. Nice folks and it looks like a fun place to relax. Go to http://copacabanaomaha.com/ for more information!

Our work on our Morello Mexico murals on canvas are coming along!

These murals will be in the mexican restaurant Super Taco in Lincoln NE soon. Rebecca Harrison has taken my designs to a higher level as usual!

Our faux "clay tile" roof at the grocery store on Vinton is done

Jeremiah and I (Richard) have been on the night shift this week building this roof. The secret ingredients are sill insulation strips wrapped around 1/2" pipe insulation tubes.

Jeremiah Neal, a frequent artist on our large projects, just painted this mural for the Siena Francis House.

A Midsummer's Mural helped supply materials and tools. The Siena/Francis House is Nebraska's largest shelter, providing food, emergency shelter & clothing, along with outreach/case management to the homeless. Jeremiah did a great job and this photo is not focused and doesn't include finishing touches but go and see it soon! It is in the cafeteria at 17th and Nicholas in Omaha. The context of the cafeteria helps the image welcome newcomers to the table. Talking to Jeremiah, there is a possible spiritual implication to his mural for those who look at it that way.

Working on a new mural for a cigar lounge to be called the Copa Cabana.

Rebecca Harrison is still working on this painting but already the owners of the new establishment at 17520 Wright Street in Omaha want to use this painting in their publicity work.

Vinton bag and save store murals are finished!

After 11 all night installations and 41/2 months of painting we are done with the murals at 20th and Vinton in Omaha!

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..."
