Mural Mania Painting
This is a reminder that we are painting tonight at the Grange (Old Library) in Lyons at 6:00 p.m. on the mural that was painted in 1990. We are bringing this old mural to life and would welcome your help.
Here are a few photos from last week.

Fwd: What's Happening in Lyons
Here are a few shots to keep everyone up to date. Corky and Chip have started painting the mural on Canal Street. I have also included a few photos the Jackson School House mural. Notice the "stones in the road" Last the dirt is out of the fountain and it looks great.

Peppermint Days - 2007
muralMANIA was alive and kicking during Peppermint Days 2007. Two murals were being painted at the same time. The mural "Street of Dreams" was temporarily brought to downtown Lyons, so the crowd could see James(artist) doing his magic. This mural will be finished sometime in August and will have a dedication soon after......I will have the dedication date and other information posted as soon as I know.
The second mural "A Window in Time" worked on by Corky Goss and Chip Miller is about finished. It is the new face of Dobbins Drugs and looks incredible. The front of the store used to be painted stucco and looked nothing like the historic buildings second floor, which is all brick. Corky and Chip brought that historic look down by painting bricks and cement posts. This brick and cement post painting looks so real and is three-dimensional that people are coming up to it and touching it thinking real bricks would be there....SURPRISE. They also painted a large window that shows three generations of Pharmacist's working inside along with shelving and a boy raiding gumball machine. It's as though your actually looking in a window. This is a must see so head down to Dobbins Drugs, it will be worth the trip.
We've also just learned that Corky and Chip have been hired to do a mural on the side of the Mitchell Dentist Building in downtown Lyons. They will be starting this after they do another mural in Syracuse.
Mark and I will be working very hard to find potential mural locations. We want James, Corky and Chip to stick around for a long time. We also have another project that we're considering that would honor the military. I will explain in my next blog.
