Today’s dedication of the Temptations mural created by Darlene Taylor quick-mix…
The vision for the mural has been years in the making. Ms. Darlene went through more than 20 different designs before receiving approval for the painting as it is now. She spent two months sweating, freezing, and always painting, and we think the results are awesome.
