Abstract:
Artists are painting murals on the sides of buildings in a number of North Carolina towns. The murals are specific to the communities and the people who live there. In 1976-1977, Asheboro had a mural painted as part of its bicentennial celebration. The mural depicts a street scene from the turn of the century, complete with plank road and a bicycle-built-for-two. Cynvia Arthur, who was Randolph County's artist-in-residence, was the lead artist, assisted by artists Louise Culler and Audrey Beck. The mural took eighteen months from design to completion.

Fresco is a style of painting where the artist paints directly on the wet plaster, thus infusing the paint with the wall. Long, an apprentice of Italian artist Pietro Annigoni, was awarded the Leonardo Da Vinci prize in 1975 as the most promising artist in Europe.
