Feeling Much Better!
Wow, I feel a million times better today. Thank you so much to everyone who sent me emails and commented...you really had such great advice and have such kindness....I have gotten over whatever it was that had me feeling down today and feel inspired- looking forward to doing another mural again!
I went to town this morning to see the man who is painting the new mural. He is finishing it today. He was so friendly and willing to share his methods and techniques and experience with me. (He actually didn't use an airbrush for this mural...he's just that good!) He does airbrush for other paintings, but it is not the ideal thing to work with on a brick surface, he told me.
I am so glad we talked, because he really gave me some great ideas and encouraged me and reminded me that it's all for God's glory.
Here is what he's done... his name is Donald Walker (I got the photo from his facebook album ):

Thanks again for all of the great advice!

His work IS beautiful, but it is a different sort than yours. A different style, I guess. I'm glad you found it in yourself to talk about it with him. I know people who, in their envy or jealousy, would have sniffed and walked away, finding something insulting to say about his work. Because you are not that way, Bethany, your light shines to all of us and I know I'm not the only person who learned something from your humbleness this week. Keep up the good, encouraging, honest work. You are reaching more people than you know.

Love your work! I found your website from an old post on MOMYS! Do you remember MOMYS?
