Still working on the restoration of The Fabric of French Culture mural... it’s slow but steady work.  I look forward to finishing this one and moving on to something else.

I have not posted in a while because I have been working on art other than murals and decided to keep this dedicated to murals...That said, in 2021 I am again restoring one of my murals from bygone years.  This time I am working on “The Fabric of French Culture” mural and when there is something more to report I will post an update with pictures.  Something strange happened with this mural that I don’t understand that manifested in a serious paint failure and I need to research what happened.  Hopefully I will have some answers by the summer.  Until then, happy making all you artists out there.

Murals by Milica Yaksich turned 8 today!

In 2019 the Founding of Sandwich mural and the Battle of Lake Erie mural were both restored and are in the Port Authority park at the corner of Sandwich and Mill.

Too bad.  It was my first and favourite mural in Old Sandwich Towne, but all things come to an end.  This mural was over twenty years old, but I think it still had a few good years left in it.

Little of the mural remains visible on the end of the strip mall, behind the old Sandwich post office, at the intersection of Mill and Sandwich streets.
