Kirk's Mural Work

Kirk has been painting at Desert View Bible Church for the past month. He is painting their hallway to their children's classrooms. Everytime he does one of these jobs I think it is his best yet. Well, this one has to not only be the biggest job but the best one! He has done an incredibly awesome job of bringing the real heroes of the bible to life once again on these walls. This is a real ministry and definately driven by God himself. Kirk is so talented. I am so pleased that he can use it in a way to glorify God in his everyday life. We have seen pictures all along the way of what he has been painting. It was time yesterday for the kids and I to see it in person. We knew the characters were huge but seeing them in person was incredible! Kaleb couldn't help but to pretend he was being eaten, squashed or pulled. He also had a big sister to egg him on.
The tongue on the fish that swallowed Jonah actually looks like it is sticking out from the wall.
This puts Noah a little more in perspective about how "grand" this job really is. He is water skiing beind the Ark.

Here is just a small assortment of paint for the walls. The blue bin looks pretty. Two areas are 20 feet high. Kirk thought he was going to have to rent a lift until he found out that the church owned their own. What a blessing. He could have never done this with a ladder. He doesn't look like he is way up there. But he really is. A little spooky, I don't like heights.Putting the finishing touches on the fish. What a beautiful eye! The white really makes everything pop. The kids thought they would take a rest on Joseph's hand. Kaleb hanging on for dear life. Kaleb...about to be squashed. If you want to see more pictures look at the website at www.liquidairstudios.com . The website is still being built but has pictures of this project on it.

Kirk, this is wonderful. I agree with all of the other comments, you truly have a gift and what a beautiful way to share it. Kaleb and Victoria really look like they are sitting in the palm. Maybe, one of these times we can come down to visit you and see this beautiful work of art and faith.
