RUSSELL RICKS IN FRONT OF MC PRINT MURAL
MAY 4, 2011. Rajish, who is originally from India an employee of the company, photographed me in front of the MC Print Mural.
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
MOOSE, LEFT END
Once we removed the masking, i was very pleased with the end result.
CLOSE UP OF LEFT END MOOSE
This section has become my favorite part of the mural.
ROBERTS BENCH SECTION
With warmer highlights on the sunlit side of Roberts Bench and a few tweaks here and there, The employees were very pleased with the end result. They like it and that's what counts!
MOOSE AND RESERVOIR SECTION
It only took a few minor accents and less than 2 hours to finish up the project.

Aspens Right Side
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.

This is the first section everyone sees when they walk in.

"Slow Down, Don't Move Too Fast..."
Today, the painting process started slowing down a little. We are now using smaller brushes and we are being more careful with the brushwork. I wish you could see the mural in person. If you live in the Salt Lake and Provo / Utah County area, email me at rricks1002@yahoo.com. I would be happy to meet with you so you can see the mural first hand. A few days ago, I thought the mural would be finished by this Friday. Now I realize I may still have one more week on the project. Monday, we go back into the Mountain Vista building to work on that mural for a few weeks.
