Although the name eludes me now we know the artist. He did 2 churches in Ohio. one of the parishioners when she was a child posed on the scaffolding for the angel. The frescos have been photographed and are in a pamphlet available at the church for tours. I realise that this will take many hours but if not done some on council will paint over everything to brighten the place up. Yea progress. IN the winter I have a lot of free time to devote to a project like this. Even if I start in an area where the walls were just covered with simple paterns and leave the detailed work for a while that would delay and probably stop any chance of painting over the works.

I am at my winter location right now but will be at the island in 28 days. I will take as many digital pictures as you would like and send as soon as I get there. If there are special things I need It is easier to round them up while i am still on the mainland.

I will write soon.
