Author	Topic: Wheeler, Texas and astronaut Alan Bean
KSCartist Member Posts: 2924 From: Titusville, FL Registered: Feb 2005	posted 06-09-2020 06:09 PM So last April, my friend Pam Rodgers Hill, the president of the Wheeler Historical Museum, asked if they could use my painting for a new billboard promoting the city as the birthplace of the late Alan Bean. The museum's exhibit dedicated to him has several of his personal artifacts on display. Of course I said yes! The challenge was scaling up an 18-by-24-inch painting to 25 feet wide by 10 feet high. The solution, Pam took a high res photo of the painting and I scaled it up to a 18mb canvas. Today Pam send me a photo of the billboard. To say I'm delighted is an understatement. Thank you Wheeler, Texas!
