Grove Hill mural shows off outdoor life in Clarke County
Johanna Bush, pictured, and Sharon Dozier are painting a mural on the side of the Keahey Law Office on the Courthouse Square in Grove Hill that will salute Clarke County's natural beauty and abundant wildlife. Their "canvas" is 90 feet wide and 16 feet high. Different scenes were suggested but the artists settled on a spring woodland scene with a cypress pond. Two fishermen fish from a boat. On one side of the pond deer graze. On the other side, turkeys strut. There are ducks, racoons and other wildlife sprinkled throughout the setting. The artists painted the scene on three small canvases to begin with and are now transferring it to the wall. Bush and Dozier are working about a half a day almost every day on the mural. They work during the morning hours when the building is shaded from the morning sun. Plans are to offer reproductions of the three small paintings for sale on canvas. Other prints or perhaps notecards may also be available. The mural is a project of the Grove Hill Arts Council. Grants from the Alabama State Council on the Arts and the Thomas L. Turner Charitable Trust helped fund the project.
