Muralist John Ton has started work on the 80' wall on Wharf Road just north of the railroad trestle. This is a Public Art Project sponsored by the Capitola Art & Cultural Commission and slated to be completed this fall. Watch for more posts as the mural progresses. The design is a portal of begonias into a Capitola Ocean view with the wharf and Stockton Bridge. Keep an eye for several beach figures to appear soon.

Decided to start over on the mural
Got a wild hair and painted white primer over the whole thing this morning. --But I promise I can re-do it by Friday!! Hah, seriously, just wanted to post this "before" picture -- difficult, now, to remember the wall without a mural, isn't it? We are painting in the final details this week. On Wednesday, Karen Nevis will do a walk-through with artist John Ton, and any glaring issues, or subtle details, will be on the artist's "punch-list" for completion by Thursday or Friday of this week.
The mural will be "unveiled" --? Unveiled? Seems pretty "unveiled' already! --oh well, anyway it will be dedicated and celebrated at 2:00 PM on Saturday, November 20. The Public is invited.

Happy Halloween at the mural!! Boo-oo-ooo--ooo!
This wacky Halloween crew livened up the mural for me! Just a couple more days and we're callin' it "done"!! Wow! What an amazing response we're getting from the public... everyone loves the images, the people, the scene of Capitola ...as the mural takes its final form. Look for an announcement of the unveiling / dedication on November 20, 2 PM (tentative date)!! Woo-Hoooooo!! (and BOOOOOO!!) happy Halloween!
