MY NAME IS LEE WACHS & I AM AN 86 YEAR OLD CANCER PATIENT IN MY WANING TWILIGHT. I HAVE A LONG MASONRY GARDEN WALL THAT WOULD BE A GREAT PLEASURE TO LOOK OUT UPON IF THERE WERE SOME SORT OF A PASTORAL MURAL UPON IT. PLEASE CALL MY PHONE # 707-463-0467 OR PASS THIS MESSAGE ON TO AN ASPIRING MURALIST. THANK YOU. M. LEE WACHS Note: Lee said he would pay for materials. He is aware that the weather wouldn’t be cooperative until the spring but thought maybe someone could at least start thinking about the design now. He also said that he wanted the artist to have “complete artistic freedom” but that he would appreciate a calming, pastoral scene.
