We are moving along quickly. Councilwoman Carol West, her assistant Lorraine Hernandez, TPAC liason Mary Ellen Wooten and Tucson DOT Bob Peterson came Monday to approve the final design. Bob took lots of pictures and was very impressed with the design. Everyone thought it was an ambitious undertaking.


We have lost two of our student workers since we began, but I anticipated that. We do have five incredible young women working with us who show up early and leave late!















After working on small high relief lizards it was time to start the tiles for the background. Each person is averaging six a day so we are on schedule. We will begin the large lizards next week. I plan on having Rikki work with Rebecca on the lizards while the rest of us roll slabs of clay and create the tiles. I am letting the tiles dry very slowly.

















I am continuing to paint the small paintings from life I began earlier. What a wonderful excercise.

David has been working on a painting inspired by Marlowe's "Tamburlaine", Part 1. He recently received a commission to do a painting of Martin Luther. No one knows their history like David.
