Today is brought to you by the letter "B": Books, Butterflies & Bye Bye!

Okay, so I snuck in a few more hours this morning amidst packing for the Great Montana Road trip.  I just couldn't leave  #60 hanging like that.  Color me kooky, but I wanted to have a clean slate of 8 awaiting our brushes upon our return to The Great Wall of Hayward at the end of the month!  8 panels left!!!!        EIGHT!

So - here sits the "finished" Caspers Famous Hot Dogs Panel.  I just had to get my hands on that tree for a little while longer, so as to create a more distinct "leaf pattern"   Me "obsessive"? Me?



 

Then comes the dawn of #60 which is the 2nd half of a two-part panel depicting the Hayward Public Library.  See those Swallowtails from the animal Shelter?  well, they are emanating from the pages of a book being read to a group of children, by Library Staff.  As we move to the left at the end of the month, you'll see our depiction of the Library itself amongst all of those beautiful trees.

...and here's the finished product then.  Excuse the intense sun, but I finished at about 12:30 this afternoon and had to get a shot before heading out.  At least it gives you an idea...and yes, those ARE a LOT of "books" in the background!  So I guess we'll be closing up shop for a bit here and hopefully, the paint pots won't dry out.  That would be sad...very sad.  So, I bid you all Happy trails my friends - Until we meet again....(at the end of the month)         Jean
