| Beau Rivage Hotel Casino Project Who's on first? Steve Winn, Yates Brothers, Wilson Design, Paintin' Place and Nini de l a Vega Studios. Secondly, we were going to be greeted by a hurricane down in the south, Biloxi, Mississippi on the gulf. (Beau Rivage aka., The Baby Bilagio) |
| Clean up at the end of the day |
| There were at least 40 Artists on this job. We occupied most of the rooms on 2 floors of the Beach Motel and to get to Beau Rivage we walked1/3 mile or so. Here is a house in Ocean Springs,MI that was leased for some of us due to the storm coming in, the Beach Motel evacuated everyone, left us out in the rain |
| That's Bob, telling us about safety and hard hats....... |

| Beau Rivage Resort Hotel Casino We faux finished miles and miles of wood paneling. The ceilings were as high as a scissor lift can go. One person operated the lift while the other artists held a row of 6 brushes MacGivered together on a large stir stick. Brushes were loaded with umber glaze and the bristles were steadily held onto the surface as the lift descended. That was the only way I figured you can get vertical straight lines (wood striations) in those lengths without the stop and go marks. I was told we looked like the cirq du soleil. |
