4 days and 3 with insane May heat! = I met a lot of locals and sweet people who would stop by to find out what I was doing or others would honk and wave and yell good job. I really appreciated that!
In 2008 I created a street mural with chalk as a featured artist in San Rafael of the 'Goddess of Mt. Tamalpais.' To be considered for the Artbox program I had to submit past artwork, so I included the 'Goddess' piece in addition to a few other paintings.
They asked me if I could paint the 'Goddess' but make it about San Jose instead of Marin and San Francisco.
I decided to celebrate the landmarks of San Jose, Willow Glen, our mountain range (with Lick Observatory) and have her as the 'Goddess of Mt. Hamilton.'
In her hands she holds the moon, a vessel, and pours stars over San Jose and our 'Valley of Hearts Delight' as Willow Glen is known.
This was such a great experience. I'd love to do more public murals :)
