With only two weeks to complete the work, Rauckis worked tirelessly each day climbing into a boom lift, and hoisting herself 25 – 40 feet off the ground to paint the massive 150 foot ‘canvas’ with broad, sweeping brush strokes. Her brushes were huge, the kind you might see being used by professional house painters.  To create the mural, she used more than 11 gallons of exterior house paint in 15 different base colors. During the process, she mixed paints to make additional colors.
