Mural at St. Leo's

Back in May, my uncle, a priest at St. Leo's in Cincinnati, Ohio, asked if I would be able to possibly paint a mural for the church that would function as a prayer wall and depict members of the parish. I told him I would be able to do it if I could convince some of my friends, who happen to be graduate painting students, to help. Said friends agreed and we began work towards the end of August. Finally, the beginning of October rolled around and we had completed a mural. There was a nice dedication ceremony to celebrate the murals we and another artist had done on an additional wall on the church's parking lot by a local artist. The finished mural is above. In the center, there are petitions written around the openings in the grate, and people can leave intentions and prayers there.

A group shot above of about half of the painters involved.

One to give an idea of scale. The mural goes from around 3 feet to 5 feet tall.

Signatures from everyone who painted. For the first mural I've ever planned, the end result was a great success. Thanks to everyone who made this possible!
