I think the rest of this story is special - when I've told this story to others, they have felt everything from chills to tears. Enjoy.<br />
<br />
This post is about a project that was completed two months ago (December 2012). I was commissioned by an individual to paint for a church, a mural of the empty tomb, similar to one I had painted years earlier and much smaller. This mural is large, as you see it on the wall; it's 10'6 high and 16'6 wide. I purposefully made the canvas larger than the space it was going onto, so that just like wallpaper, it could be trimmed to fit. <br />
<br />
There are benefits to painting a mural on canvas, like being able to work on it in my pajamas at any time of day or night. Painting on canvas was also good in that my client was in Kentucky - thank you FedEx.<br />
<br />
To begin, I sketched out the main shapes and blocked in my colors. To cover this amount of surface, I used a 6" whiz roller on a pole. You'll notice I tarped everything. <br />

This is where the neat part of the mural comes in. I had been communicating with the client via telephone calls and pictures throughout the process. Toward the end of completion, she shared the 'final' image with the minister; who asked, where's the cloth that was wrapped around Jesus' head? So she and I both looked up John 20:6-7 as directed: <br />
<br />
"...Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there, and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself." <br />
<br />
Well, I had something to add because it's significant. After doing some research about the significance of the <a href="http://in%20order%20to%20understand%20the%20significance%20of%20the%20folded%20napkin,/" target="_blank">folded napkin</a> and there are several, I have copied one of their explanations:<br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>"...In order to understand the significance of the
folded napkin, you have to understand a little bit
about Hebrew tradition of that day. The folded
napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every Jewish boy knew this
tradition. </strong></span></em><br />
<em></em><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong> </strong></span><br />
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>When the servant set the dinner table for the
master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted
it. The table was furnished perfectly, and then the
servant would wait, just out of sight, until the
master had finished eating, and the servant would
not touch that table, until the master was finished. </strong></span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong> </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong><em>Now if the master were done eating, he would rise
from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard,
</em><em>and would wad up</em> that napkin and toss it
onto the table. The servant would then know to clear the table. <br /><br /><em>For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, "I'm
finished." </em><em>But if the master got up from the table, and
folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the servant would not dare touch the table, because the folded
napkin meant,... </em><em>"I'm coming back."</em></strong>
</span><br />

So here's the folded linen, separate and apart from the other linens.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are a few other thoughts on the folded linen; one that if tomb robbers had taken His body, they would not have bothered to fold the linen. And another, that you could envision Jesus rising on Easter morning and as a matter of routine, folding the linen cloth. Either way, it's significant ... and John made note of the way the linens were found. I like the explanation<strong><em>: I'm coming back.</em></strong></div>

My apologies for the small image, it was sent to me via cell phone. It is always a bit nerve wrecking to ship your artwork and entrust the installation to someone you know only through referrals and emails. However, kudos to <a href="http://www.lilliansinteriors.com/" target="_blank">Lillian</a> (and company), who professionally installed the canvas over a pool - it's installed behind the baptismal font - and did a fantastic job. In case you're wondering, the mural has several coats of clear acrylic protection. </div>

The project is complete and will be part of a story on the Fort Wayne – 21 Alive local news Thursday at 6pm (February 7th). </div><br /><div><br />I am so glad that I was able to do my part for such a great cause. I share this broadcast with my friends and clients to help bring awareness to the tremendous work they do. The project was funded entirely by the Hospital Auxiliary – their goal: To improve the care and treatment of cancer patients. </div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div>The murals were painted in the studio on canvas - then installed (much like wallpaper) at the Oncology center. The picture above is an 'in process' photo. I feel blessed to have a studio in which I can create and be as messy as I like! The beauty of this 'system' is that I'm not disrupting their center by painting on site and that many years from now if they want to rennovate again, they can remove the murals and do with them as they'd like. They can be remounted at another site as well. </div><div> </div><div></div></div><div>Here are a few detail shots:</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div><br />This little girl has found all sorts of interesting rocks along the shoreline.
