The Mural is Done

This weekend I finished the mural! For the last 10 weeks I have spent every Saturday painting in the Children's Ministry of our new building. The mural consisted of 3 walls. Two walls that are about 15-20 feet long and one wall that is about 30 feet long and has 4 windows.

The theme is from Luke 19. One end wall has Zacchaeu$ in the tree. Jesus has just walked up to him and with a crowd around him he invited Z out of the tree and wants to go to Z's home.
In Luke 22 Jesus asks his Disciples to get a colt for Him to ride into Jerusalem. In the corner I have a donkey waiting for Jesus. On the other end wall is the city of Jerusalem. It is a market place with awnings and store fronts. The long wall has more buildings, the windows will have dark blinds and awnings as curtains to mimic the market place (this will be done in a week or so).

Here are a few pictures from when we first started. I have the final ones and will upload them soon.
