Veteran's Day Mural

Tomorrow morning the mural will be unveiled. All the work during those cold and windy days will soon be allowed to receive sunlight. I had painted inside a tent covering that was about 10 feet tall to keep the mural a secret. After about seven days of priming, drawing, painting and sealing, the mural is finally ready. I heard there will be a military flyover so that will be interesting too.Painting is always fun but this was a special project because my wife's grandfather and step mom's dad passed away recently. They used to share WWII stories with us such as parachuting into Normandy with freezing weather. Had her granfather not survived... I would not have met my wife.
