Lincoln Highway mural number 18 . . . Morrison, IL

Post by Jay Allen »

Well . . . except for border work by the always consistent Joe Marshall, I painted this one also in its entirety.

I did this pictorial tribute to the county fair in Morrison in about 60 hours - 39 for the pictorial - 21 for that doggone 'Fair handbill' - that included brush cleanup and mixing of colors. That little pictorial of the cars parked on the handbill took 8 hours and I was spent when done . . . measure 30" x 30" roughly . . .

#18 . . . done . . .

Hope you like it . . .

Number 19 will be in Oswego, IL - a tribute to a the Boy Scouts and their installation of 3,300 LH markers along the entire length of the road back in 1925 . . .
