While subbing for Bernadette Forese, owner of The Faux Pro LLC, we glazed 28 ft. high walls, by hand, using 8 inch brushes and 6 shades of blue for William Cochran of Frederick, MD., the muralist of "Community Bridge" fame. The painting was "orchestrated" by Mr. Cochran, who will be painting a mural for the walls this spring. The building is the new Hershey Museum in PA.
