We're set to begin the mural on January 12!


This is the grid that I plan to use to transfer the composition on to the new plastered wall at St. Rose of Lima. You will notice that I have included more columns to accommodate the exact proportions of the wall (24.5x36 feet). The trinity and the existing crucifix are also included. The mural will sit over an eight foot tall faux stone wall.   

Mary of Nazareth - small colour study

This is where we have netted out on how our Mary should look like. I pray that I do her justice. Now you will notice that the Mary in the original painting looks different. Fr. Freddie and Deacon Anthony felt that her face could use a refresh since the original version seemed a little out of focus and lacking of detail even though she was the focal point of the original painting. I think this is an improvement I like to believe that Mr. Restout thinks so as well :)
