Today was a nice relaxing day. Once I was all set up for today's painting session, it took less than 2 hours to paint the final accents, remove all the masking and do the touch up. The employees are all very pleased as far as the landscape is concerned. Some were a little disappointed that I didn't paint a bull elk, a squirrel, a pair of loons or a girl in a bikini, but everyone who works in the building was pleased with the mural. All I am waiting for officially is the final approval from top management and my last paycheck for this project.
As far as the next project. I am having several panels made which will be for the purpose of a poly-dyptic sketch (more than three separate panels hung together only inches apart which form one unit). As soon as this sketch is finished, I will post it on www.novatekgodzillamural.blogspot.com. See you again soon!

LEFT END, SECOND SECTION.
While working on this project, I faced right into this iron pillar many times. The problem is, I get to concentrating on what I am doing that I loose touch with what might be going on around me and it is in those moments keep smashing my face into the pillar

Once we removed the masking, i was very pleased with the end result.

I ran smack-dab and face-first into that iron beam support yesterday. Ouch, that hurt!
Mount Baldy Section
The aspen trees now have more form and are no longer flat and dull looking. Mount Baldy got a little more form and refined patches of snow, giving the granite form more of a 3D look.
Right End Section
Looks much better without the masking.
