This is a great picture. It shows the ceiling in different stages of completion. On the upper ceiling the base color of blue can be seen. On the lower panels to the right, the stenciling is visible in an almost finished state. The Restoration committee has chosen the idea of making the great arches that adorn our ceiling more dramatic through the painting technique of 'graining'. This is the process of applying paint, and stain in such a way that the result looks like natural wood. In the forefront the arch is covered in the base coat of paint, and in the background Henry, Brett, and Patrick can be seen applying the stain. Having been up there to see the result I can assure you that it really does look like natural wood, and it is a dramatic change.

For the better.
