Ag Museum mural beginning to grow and take shape
Robert Walton, a painter
from Lev inworth, WA, has been
in Heppner sketching a mural o f
H eppner before the 1903 flood
onto the Riverside Dr. side o f the
Ag Museum building.
Walton, with the help o f
his wife Robin, has been w orking
in the evenings with an overhead
projector, to get the first sketches
o f the m ural onto the building.
The area he is currently working
on is 100 feet by 17 feet, and
required the sketch to go up in
five sections.
D ue
to
w e a th e r
conditions, mainly the moisture
Heppner has been experiencing
from the fog, Walton left Heppner
M onday afternoon, and will not
be painting again until April. He
is hoping A pril will have the
warmer, drier weather needed to
allow the oil paint he uses to
ad h ere to the b u ild in g . The
painting has been sketched in a
red tone, but will be filled in w ith
the m any colors that can be seen
around Heppner.
Walton started painting in
1972, getting into the business
full-time in 1977. Although he did
not have any formal training, he
did take a few classes in color
painting from a man who lived in
Tacoma, WA. Walton has lived
in Levinworth, WA since 1979.
Walton and his wife have three
daughters, who are married and
live throughout the U.S.
