For the fourth time Quick Development has chosen Ray Harvey Art to create several murals in the new Memory Center Community in Cuba, Mo. This healthcare facility sits directly next to the first Victorian Manor commissioned. This center will house and serve Alzheimers patients. The project began April 15th. The project is expected to last over six weeks. The commission includes eight full scene murals with additional set paintings. In total the project extends an estimated 300 lineal feet. Look for upcoming photos of the work.

The first two paintings in my “stations of the cross” series was premiered yesterday at The Art Center in downtown Washington. The Arnolds have put together an excellent collection of various artists’ works for this years show. The show runs until April 30th. Check it out! Shown here are stations 5 & 13.

This is one of my favorite shots. An afternoon at the museum with The Dancer,
Monet and me.

As posted before I accepted an invitation to create a unique painting during the Baby dedication service at the First Christian Church of Florissant. On January 31st I designed and painted the art titled “Dedicated for Life”. I designed four individual panels which were painted upside down and sideways leaving a mystery for the congregation until the reveal where I hung the panels in the correct order. The four panels constructed a scene with Jesus holding a child.
The print is available in limited edition at my Etsy store. You can view and purchase the print at www.etsy.com/shop/rayharveyart.

First Christian Church of Florissant has commissioned Ray Harvey to create two large scale paintings during this Sundays services. January 31st is the day chosen at the church to dedicate all babies born during the past year. During the service there will be specific music, messages, introductions and visual art to mark the day. Ray Harvey will be demonstrating through quickly painted scenes the concept that God is not through with us yet! Mr. Harvey will create four different paintings when seen alone don’t make much visual sense but when displayed together in the correct order capsulizes the sermon message. Video and still shots wil be available on this site next week.
