So busy raising funds for my painterly Kickstarter campaign that I almost plum forgot about PPF!For todays' installment of the weekly Paint Party Friday, I wanted to share a mural I once had the chance to paint on the back of an old barn.
Did the thing in tempera paint and did not really have the chance to glaze it or anything and, sadly, it didn't survive a storm that emerged the day after I finished.
This was at least quasi intentional, since I knew the structure itself was 'temporary' at best - the whole thing, then, again, became a testament to decay.
As for Kickstarter.... am a lot closer than I was!!!!!! It expires tomorrow evening. Still need a few good people to contribute $20 to be all set. Gifts include handmade art. So am on duty today - on the phone, online, etc - trying to gather support.
If any of you blog readers ever
1) contribute to my campaign, or
2) decide to CREATE your own campaign down the line, please contact me ---- you can count on me for support - I know what a nightmare this sort of thing can be.

So sorry this marvelous mural did not survive the storm.
But so happy you were able to document it prior to it washing away. :)

Hope you had photos of this marvelous mural ~ great creation ~ namaste, carol (Share the Creative Journey) Happy PPF ^_^
wow that was a fabulous mural, you must have been devastated when it got washed out like this. Happy PPF, Annette x
Wonderful mural - so sad it was destroyed so quickly.
yes but I learned my lesson ---- don't think I didn't ;) that's why I started putting epoxy on every thing I ever do with tempera (too bad you really can't do that on a barn....)
It's a wonderful mural! Too bad the storm came in.
Lovely work that although attacked by a storm still has remnants of its glory... pleased you got some photos :)
The piece is amazing!!!
I'll tweet for supporting your KS project. I wanted to put my project, too, but I'm from Italy and for now I cannot participate....
I can't KS, because I'm not an US citizen. You need a security number and such to be accepted. I don't know about partnering, though....
That was a nice piece - very whimsical!
Blessings,

Congrats on reaching your goal!
That mural was beautiful, and well, sort of a Zen lesson in the impermanence of beauty, hmmm?
Wow, the mural is amazing! Too bad it washed out.It still looks cool though.You got great pics!
What a shame your beautiful mural expired! Carry that can of varnish with you everywhere!
I loved the painting and where you painted it, on something that could use a bit of pretty. It had to dry before you could add the permanent, so sorry. Happens to all of us at times we least expect. Blessings, Janet PPF
