Mural #2
General Beal and the Camels
This second mural was started by Kevin Varty. He took the desert photo for
the background and found the pictures or drew them for the animals and soldiers. When he had finished sketching it out
and had done the desert on the right side he found it necessary to find a "real Job" to support his growing family. That's
when I stepped in. Painting the animals was easy because I could do it "my way" but trying to match the style of the painting
for the desert was a real learning experience! This only took 2 years in my spare time. It is 10 feet tall and 32 feet long.
I'm really proud of this. It is located on the side of Clemmer's Heating and Air Conditioning at 2nd Street and the alley,
one block north of Main Street.

MURAL # 3
THE HARVEY HOUSE
William Harvey and The Harvey Girls
This was the first one that I did all by myself, start to finish.
It features the founder of the Harvey House chain and 2 of the famous Harvey
Girls. The buildings depict the layout when it was it's largest, before the flood of 1936 that wiped out the large buildings
at the back left. They were the living quarters for the workers and the girls that worked there, as well as the library
and several of the storage buildings. This one only took 2 months after the wall was prepped (again, ask me about it some
time).
