For those who are interested in the paint I left on walls in Honduras, here are some shots. I like this first one, because it makes the painting look important, since the rest of the room is bare concrete (it was under construction. That machine is for smoothing floors, if I remember correctly. It made noise and dust, anyway). Plus, it shows the beautiful morning sunlight streaking the floor; the painting is on the west wall.

Here are some shots of the progress:

And the finished product:

Then, they decided they wanted me to do Our Lady, for a wall in another building, but the priest in charge wasn’t around to give permission. So, after looking around for canvas to paint on, we eventually bought a couple metres of regular cotton canvas, primed it with a ton of white latex, hung it on the wall of my room, and started painting. The problem with the long preparation was that it gave me very little time to actually paint it before I left; I did this in two days. I didn’t finish the crown of stars, or the actual hanging in its place of final rest, but I left it in the capable hands of a guy named Mainor.

So, here is the progress:

And here is the finished product (note the horizontal seam where the two pieces of canvas meet):

I also did a couple things at the first mission I was at, but they weren’t quite of the same caliber. In the chapel by the girls’ school, I did a wall painting, but it was more a collaborative effort with some highschool volunteers; not exactly what I could claim for my own.

I hope you like them; I had fun making them. Maybe when I have more time, I’ll actually finish the mural on my own wall to show you. Until then, let me know if you have two hundred dollars to spare and a wall to paint.
