a.m. thinking maybe I should
just do another sketch of him
before coming back out to
paint. Then I got here and
looked at it again, and thought
maybe it isn't so bad,” she said.
Like any artistic endeavor,
it's a process fi lled with
highs and lows and intense
moments of self-doubt, but
she keeps on painting.
“One of the problems is I
do portraits in watercolor and
I don't know what the hell
I'm doing with the acrylics
we have for the mural,” she
said.
On top of that, she's started
“correcting” spots of the
portrait that didn't fi t with
her father's style.
“When I started, they had
him with long sleeves and he
hated long sleeves. So now
he's in a bowling shirt and I'm
going to put his 300-game
ring on his fi nger and a can in
his hand,” Nancy said.
She spent much of her
early life in bowling alleys.

and operated a bowling alley
in Silverton. While much
of her family remains avid
bowlers, Nancy spent her
time at the alley reading and
drawing.
“They used to keep
scores on paper and I would
end up with a handful of
scoresheets that I would fl ip
over and draw on the back,”
Nancy said. “I started drawing
bowlers.”

By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
On July 23 and 25, organizers of
Keizer’s mural project at Town & Coun-
try Lanes are hoping area children turn
out to leave their mark.
On those dates, between 10 a.m. and
4 p.m., kids up to 13 years old (includ-
ing newborns) are invited to leave their
handprints on the base of the mural lo-
cated at Town & Country Lanes, 3500
River Road N. Parents will need to ac-
company children hoping to participate
and permission form will need to be
completed before painting.
Jill Hagen, the project manager, said
things are coming along nicely, but
there’s still much work to be done.
“We need a lot of volunteer paint-
ers,” Hagen said. “While we are starting
Country to complete her
homework.
Nancy said her father
taught the current owner
Don Lebold how to bowl
before the two became
partners in the business years
later. She is one of the few
to work on the portraits, there are still
buildings and shadowing to complete,
and those are paint-by-numbers to a
large degree.”
Hagen is looking for help in tracking
down sprayers to apply an anti-grafi tti
coat sometime in August. Spraying
equipment and people to operate it are
both needed. The protective coating is
already secured.
Hagen is also hoping to drum up
new lighting fi xtures to enhance the
look of the mural at nighttime.
“We already have some exterior
lighting on the building, but we would
like new fi xtures. If someone is willing
to donate the fi xtures and installation,
Don Lebold (owner of Town & Coun-
try) has agreed to keep them lit,” Hagen
said.
people who still calls Lebold
“Donnie.”
When she wants changes
to the mural, she calls it
playing the Donnie Card.
Even though she lives in
Springfi eld now, her ties to
Keizer remain strong. She's
still a member of the Keizer
Art Association and comes to
town at least once a week to
take her brother bowling.
“My connection with the
city is just continual,” Nancy
said. “And this is a really great
way to cement it.”
