One of the first large murals that my wife and I have ever painted was at St. Paul’s Lutheran School & Church, located in Arlington, NE. The school wanted a bulldog mascot painted in their gymnasium to embrace their school spirit. We utilized artwork from clip art and modified it to include the Cross-styled dog tag collar to symbolize the Lutheran faith. We printed the artwork on clear transparent plastic and used the school’s overhead project to transpose the outline to the wall. The setup of their school’s scaffolding helped considerably as a ladder would have been too much work to navigate for such a large mural.
