Stretch & Play

Yikes I've found new muscles. Its been awhile since I did the ladder,stretch,bend type of painting on BIG stuff but I did have a BALL! Amy Boetcher, Tom Gross, Phoebe (sorry I didn't
get your last name) and I painted 5 of the 7 huge Windows.
I loved what we ended up painting in just a tad over 3 hours! These windows are just outside of the theatre area where the play "Rent" will be presented this Friday evening in the East Peoria High School.
