Vinedale Elementary School is a lovely school situated in the canyons of Sun Valley, California where the hawks are to be seen flying overhead daily and nesting in their trees. So, naturally their mascot is the hawk and they wanted a mural with their hawk as the center of attention. I asked how big. Big! Bigger! No, bigger! We projected the seven foot tall hawk on the eight foot tall wall. Oh, the principal forgot to mention she wanted the hawk to be made of the handprints of the children and faculty! Wow! That is a vision I did not see coming! I slept on it while my mind tried to imagine how it would all come together and thankfully it did. Did you know latex gloves come in all sizes from age 4 to adult small and large? That made dipping each one of nearly 300 hands into a dish with paint easy with no clean up mess. Whew! Over three weeks we worked together to make this amazing 30 foot wall come to life and the Vinedale Hawks are very proud of their new mural.
