Restored: St. Luke's 1913 "Good Shepherd" mural by E. H. Blashfield

In this tradition 100 years is the blink of an eye. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.stlukesatlanta.org/">Atlanta's St. Luke's Episcopal Church</a> has restored "The Good Shepherd," a giant canvas by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Blashfield">E. H. Blashfield</a>, the artist who did the <a href="https://flic.kr/p/6npmp8">domed ceiling of the main reading room of the Library of Congress</a>. Before they took the scaffolds down, St. Luke's invited parishioners to see it up close and up high from the scaffolding. Thanks to Bobby Mays who invited <a href="http://www.facebook.com/TrippTLFphotos">Trip Cook</a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"> </a>and me for a once in a lifetime experience.<br /><br />It's a canvas "pasted" to the wall. I loved that the restoration of this hundred year old mural and <a href="http://livingwallsatl.com/">2014 Living Walls Conference</a> were happening at the same time.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvvb4zyISigbPNyrpSQ77ISTmCepcTjrVqAgUpHlyCsJNbR11PLT1a_qWV5wHumPmOICLHZXZ1MrxVU6G82pPZCrqptc9P76X-aLOMunNoBDRUGcrUFaAvqyNh1kZcqrYMh3HAGfy62Umv/s1600/15036542066_313076273a_h.jpg"><img border="0" height="456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvvb4zyISigbPNyrpSQ77ISTmCepcTjrVqAgUpHlyCsJNbR11PLT1a_qWV5wHumPmOICLHZXZ1MrxVU6G82pPZCrqptc9P76X-aLOMunNoBDRUGcrUFaAvqyNh1kZcqrYMh3HAGfy62Umv/s1600/15036542066_313076273a_h.jpg" width="640" /> </a><br />Restoration by <a href="http://www.ifacs.net/">IFACS International Fine Art Conservation Studios</a>.

It's the calm focal point above the alter amid the glorious windows. My photo from an earlier visit.<br /><br />How big is it? How high. Perhaps twice life size? I forget to ask. In my reverie I forgot to ask everything. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/14995740125" title="IMG_0861 2014-08-21 E H Blashfield 1913 Good Shepherd Restoration St Lukes Episcopal Atlanta by Terry Kearns, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_0861 2014-08-21 E H Blashfield 1913 Good Shepherd Restoration St Lukes Episcopal Atlanta" height="480" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5591/14995740125_492b3b0629_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />I'm not a high scaffolding person. Nope. But I was going up.

My photo.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/14809143428" title="IMG_0850 2014-08-21 E H Blashfield 1913 Good Shepherd Restoration St Lukes Episcopal Atlanta by Terry Kearns, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_0850 2014-08-21 E H Blashfield 1913 Good Shepherd Restoration St Lukes Episcopal Atlanta" height="480" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3862/14809143428_e9ed44ce7f_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />Cleaning revealed that the Good Shepherd's feet are in foam at the water's edge. My photo.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/14809215427" title="IMG_0855 2014-08-21 E H Blashfield 1913 Good Shepherd Restoration St Lukes Episcopal Atlanta by Terry Kearns, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_0855 2014-08-21 E H Blashfield 1913 Good Shepherd Restoration St Lukes Episcopal Atlanta" height="480" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5576/14809215427_f5632d4068_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />Distorted at eye level, but right when viewed from below. My photo.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/14995379552" title="IMG_0856 2014-08-21 E H Blashfield 1913 Good Shepherd Restoration St Lukes Episcopal Atlanta by Terry Kearns, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_0856 2014-08-21 E H Blashfield 1913 Good Shepherd Restoration St Lukes Episcopal Atlanta" height="480" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3878/14995379552_a045cc270d_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />From the scaffold I felt as if I was in the mural but separate and small. It was in my face. How does the artist manage the distorted up-close view?. Artists figured this out a few thousand years ago, mastered it in the Renaissance. It's an ancient tradition. My photo.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/14872867340" title="IMG_0882 2014-08-22 Photo by Tripp Cook E H Blashfield 1913 Good Shepherd Restoration St Lukes Episcopal Atlanta Tripp TLF Photography by Terry Kearns, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_0882 2014-08-22 Photo by Tripp Cook E H Blashfield 1913 Good Shepherd Restoration St Lukes Episcopal Atlanta Tripp TLF Photography" height="457" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3912/14872867340_c2df83e6ca_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />Up here the scaffolding rocked, like being on a floating dock in the waves. Photo by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TrippTLFphotos">Tripp TLF Photography</a>.<br /><br />How long to stay up there? My brain and body were floating. I felt a claustrophobia of being so close to the giant painting. The working lights were good for the artists, but glared through my cataracts.<br /><br />But I could turn around.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/14872979817" title="IMG_0867 2014-08-22 Photo by Tripp Cook E H Blashfield 1913 Good Shepherd Restoration St Lukes Episcopal Atlanta Tripp TLF Photography by Terry Kearns, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_0867 2014-08-22 Photo by Tripp Cook E H Blashfield 1913 Good Shepherd Restoration St Lukes Episcopal Atlanta Tripp TLF Photography" height="458" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5572/14872979817_3f0407e999_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />To see this.

Saturday Walk: Starfish, Reid, Crook, Scogin, Dixon, Shingles

We walked Brookwood Hills yesterday. It's landlocked, compact, picturesque, green and hilly. It's hemmed in by Peacthree Street, Peachtree Creek, and CSX, so you pass by rather than pass through. Thanks to Betsey, Bill, Clark for showing us around.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihfGTj73YPTZ_sV1wx8oMtXOtFb0DK88XL4hB07_m5Y34MwfBbUQ1urSg0SJRBpo8Nez83g8Owo5G0fNJn8bLMM8IdH5PMNje9n-hSMA9gpzBUWb2eNTyu_mBX8BBnMAgrnb_VPrXcoa8x/s1600/P1060666-2012-04-14-Brookwood-tour-Neel-+Reid.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731627344397923378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihfGTj73YPTZ_sV1wx8oMtXOtFb0DK88XL4hB07_m5Y34MwfBbUQ1urSg0SJRBpo8Nez83g8Owo5G0fNJn8bLMM8IdH5PMNje9n-hSMA9gpzBUWb2eNTyu_mBX8BBnMAgrnb_VPrXcoa8x/s400/P1060666-2012-04-14-Brookwood-tour-Neel-+Reid.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br />This is Brookwood Hill's Neel Reid. James Means worked here too designing the bump out to the left and the garden. The pictures, even mine, don't show it in the context with it's neighbors. It's not a stand-alone mansion.
