Thinking Big - 60 foot painting of Alexandria street scene takes form

My latest project has been to organize a LARGE SCALE "pen and watercolor" of a street scene within the community spirited main street of Del Ray, Alexandria.  The 60-foot mural shows how the city of Alexandria supports the Universal Declaration of Human Rights through the depiction of every-day  activites in Del Ray --activities that are the very essence of any real community.  The bulk of the painting of the mural took place last Saturday, coninciding with Del Ray's Art on the Avenue. 
See article in Del Ray Patch.
 
Right now we are in the process of doing the finishing touches on the mural.  Have a look at our  "making of a mural" sequence below. . .
