Suggested design for Gallery Mural (very rough)








First rendering of image using Kolorpaint





The suggested image is of two smelting pots flowing lava between the windows down into one corner from which a phoenix will rise up towards the roof of the building. This symbolises a melting-pot community effort by artists and the arts to generate enthusiasm and interest during recessionary times.

Falling into both smelting pots will be symbols of each art represented around the location - bits of stained glass, pencils, paintbrushes, a camera, dancing shoes, musical instruments etc.

It's very rough, please bear with us.
