I'm sure there are lots of folks who would love to see what's happening.
I would have liked to attend and meet up with old friends but scheduling just didn't work out.

Hi Dave...there is a Facebook Page with lots of pictures. The murals are coming along nicely. We got rained on today for a little while.

Hope we get to see the finished ones on here, I realize while the meet goes on taking pictures is not a priority

Craig, sounds like Facebook is the place to go to see what's going on, not here. Eventually there might be something on Letterville.

I was there Friday afternoon and Saturday. Rain during the week put some project a little behind schedule, but most projects were done by Saturday evening. A great turnout and beautiful work. The Butlers and the town of Shipshewana really did a great job.
Wish I knew how to post pictures here.

will try to post some on here tonight. Once I get them off my camera. Once again it was a great time! I think we ate more than we painted! Posted by Susan Banasky (Member # 1164) on :
Shipshewana welcomed us with open arms....The Amish food is amazing. Horses and buggies everywhere. The paintings got done, despite several downpours. All in all I think things went very well.
Pam...I'm so sorry I missed seeing you before I left. It was very nice to work with you. Here is a cyber hug until the next meet.
As for photos....I'm not too savvy with posting those but could try when I return home (I'm still in Fort Wayne, Indiana)..I hope someone posts photos here as not everyone goes to Facebook.

Here is a little something, especially for you.....compliments of your ol' splash buddy:
I thought I would post an image of our finished wall from Shipshewana. Kelly Thorson and I were co-leaders of the M.Y. Miller General Merchandise Mural. We both contributed to the design efforts for this project but the final design was mostly done by Kelly.
We had a great crew on this project including Pam Eddy, Susan Banasky, Kurt and Hunter Gaber, Mighty Miss Mel, Gayla Schuett, & my wife Brenda.
Luckily we were set up inside a pavilion along with a couple other teams and were not effected by the weather....except for the horizontal rain and 60 mile per hour wind gusts on Wednesday!
Thanks a lot to all who helped make this project a success. And thanks to the community of Shipshewana who welcomed us like family and fed us very well! Another great time with the Walldogs!
Ooops I forgot...the mural is 12' X 24' on panels and will be moved to the final site at the Forks Grocery Store in Shipshewana. It was painted with Nova Artist Colors.

It was great, but it could have been better if the Shortreeds were there too.

That what I'm talking about.
Lets face it Facebook is fine for samples of what work was completed in Shipshewana,
Like to see all 16 murals & close ups, from what I've seen on facebook is most but it is like photos from cameras.
Really wish I had gone, knows it was the best & it looked like easy living this time with great spirits to be had by all.
All the murals look beyond awesome, outstanding eye candy to the max.
