Train Station (Train Murals – Part 2)

To me, it just screamed “Train Station.” As I toured the church building for the first time, still under construction, I knew immediately what I could do. They had already asked me to paint a train in the Kid’s Ministry area and call it “The Grace Express,” but the thing that first struck me was the wall of brick…and the fact it was leading up to a wall with a hole for a window.

I’ve Been Workin’ on the Railroad (Train Murals – Part 1)

When I was a kid, I remember singing, “I’ve Been Workin’ on the Railroad…all the live long day.” I hadn’t thought about that song in years! Until recently, when I really was working on a railroad for days on end, as I painted Train Murals for my church’s Kid’s Ministry. After years of worshiping in a school gym, we’ve moved into our own building, and I was asked if I could paint a mural or two to make the children feel as if they’re going on a journey aboard “The Grace Express.” Well, fire up the locomotive and say no more! I spent six and a half weeks getting completely carried away with trains, a train station, railroad tracks on the floors, props, etc. There’s so much, I decided to take you on a video tour before breaking it down into individual blog entries. All aboard!

After seeing this video, be sure to see how these train murals came together, beginning with the Train Station.
