Lettering with a liner brush makes a difference |
Text and image, we unfold the meaning of the written word with marriage to a strong visual. This year’s mural, paired with Jeremiah 6:16 yields a rich and refreshing look at Auguste Macke’s painting “Vegetable Fields”. The verse reads:
“Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it...”
This past Friday and Saturday, I painted a portion of the verse across the top and took care of a few minor mural details. Frankly, lettering isn’t something I do well - I used to watch my Grandpa letter signs for a living, fascinated by the rhythmic flow of his brush across the surface. My lettering skills fall short in comparison to my Grandfather’s; I’m just happy it’s legible. We unveil the mural tomorrow!
