Last Millvale Mural Post

One last group of shots to share of the Millvale murals. What I couldn't figure out is what kind of paint the artist used. The docent didn't mention it and I didn't have time to ask. It's obviously not oil, and it wasn't a fresco so I'm thinking some kind of acrylic. In any case, visiting these murals gave me a sense of what it must be like to see some of the great churches in Europe. I hope someday to make it to some of them. As I was with this church, I'll probably be surprised to see how small some of them are. The Sistine looks big on the TV screens but everyone I know that has visited it says they were surprised to see the actual size of it.
