HOLY FAMILY MURAL

Located in Coburn UM Church in Zanesville, Ohio, the mural was completed in 2017. The mural, 11'H X 6'W, was painted using acrylics.

A work/notebook documenting the procedure from concept to completion was displayed for examination at a 17 December hour-long presentation in the church sanctuary. When asked why the colors seemed to glow, the answer was the multiple uses of clear, tinted glazes. In some instances, 20+ layers of glaze were used. Each layer of the glaze reflects and refracts the light creating deep, rich colors.

The lower image is a detail of Mary and the Christ Child. The colors of His halo represent the Holy Trinity.
