You should get SJ to submit a sketch and then you can show up with spray paint, glitter, and rhinestones.

...and QUARTERS! :clap:

Bad idea, you'd drown one night after a round of Planters Punch.

Oh, but what a way to go! I think I am on to Mojitos now. :dunno:

Is this to paint THE pond or to do a painting OF the pond?
Thanks for pointing that out. After re-reading it, it sounds more clear that they want the actual lining of the pond painted, but when I first read it, it sounded like they wanted a commissioned canvas painting of the pond. I agree that $5,000 sound cheap for a work that large. I wonder if you could see the piece from google maps when they reshoot that area. :dunno:

Only if the Satellite hits that area during the 2 weeks in the spring that it's clear.

Oddly when I tried zooming in the first two times it bounced me to Canada. :eek:

whomever gets to paint is going to be surprised when they find out that it isn't exactly a circle, unless that satellite image has it looking different than it is.

IIRC when it was built they laid out the edge with a garden hose.

It wouldn't so great up close, but this would be cool to see in the koi pond from the satellite image:

Why do they still call it the Koi Pond, since the birds ate all the Koi which have been gone for years?
