A storm on the way from the coast

Taken Apr. 12, 2012, Elma. The Abbott mural can be seen on the right, to give you an idea of the size of that particular work, one of his most expansive. It was painted over in 2013.

Moose Lodge, Montesano

This indoor James Abbott mural is painted into a shallow alcove, where the sides of the painting wrap around the corners. The centerpiece is a tree with actual small white lights, making this sort of a mixed media piece. Painted in Nov. 1997. Many thanks to the members of Moose Lodge in Montesano for permission to photograph this large mural.

The last little bit of Abbott in McCleary

A small portion of the mural on the old Rhodes Grocery building had been covered by siding sheets for several years. Although the rest of the building had long since been demolished, this one remaining wall was finally destroyed at the very start of  2016. The very last bit of Abbott mural art left in McCleary was briefly on display for a few days when the siding sheets were removed.
